About album of the day: The BestEverAlbums.com album of the day is the album appearing most prominently in member charts in the previous 24 hours. If an album has previously been selected within a x day period, the next highest album is picked instead (and so on) to ensure a bit of variety.
I'm extremely passionate about The Doors, and I really love all their albums (the ones without Jimmy isn't that horrible, they're just not really The Doors albums). But man, listening to Jim Morrison on this one isn't nice. If you play their discography in chronologically you'll hear that his voice got more and more damaged - comparing his voice to how close he was to death makes this album an uncomfortable listen.

I must say, that is certainly an interesting take on Morrison's voice. Personally, just like with Elvis, I think Jim's voice actually got better. Possibly due 2 weight gain.
Having said that, IMO Morrison gets 2 much credit for the Doors greatness that many people feel they had. It would be hard for me 2 think of a band that had more underrated musicians than the Doors. Seems 2 me that Morrison was a kind of, Can't live with, can't live without, type of proposition within the Doors.
As far as L.A. Woman goes, well, IT'S A FUCKING AWESOME ALBUM. For fucks sake, every song on it is a great one. I am proud 2 say that I have L.A. Woman at #36 on my chart
By no means do I consider myself an expert on vocal abilities by any stretch
But I do know 2 things about the vocals on this album.
(1) They are 1,000 times better than mine (So I guess Mind Movie won't be having me do any vocal work for him any time soon)
(2) What can I say, I like them and I can't picture some typical little pussy prick singing lyrics like the ones on L.A. Woman.
