Product ReviewsThe Best of the Doors [1985] by The Doors (CD, Nov-1985, 2 Discs, Elektra (Label))

The Doors is what The Tea Party wanted to be, but kind of fell short of

The Doors is classic rock, there's no disputing that they made some pretty amazing songs. Jim Morrison's voice is as timeless and unmatchable as Jimi Hendrix's guitar playing or Rick Allen's drumming. You just can't top it. That mixture of sounds which are indicative of the 60s and 70s experimentation era of music is what really sells it, you get tracks that seem like they tell a story such as Spanish Caravan, Riders on the Storm or Alabama Song, then there's songs that sound like something almost disco like Hello, I love you.

This is not one disc of a few of their better tracks and then a bunch of tracks you never heard of, this is a two disc compilation of all of the most well known Doors songs from when Jim Morrison was still alive. It's a powerful album, and I hope that young people experience it so that this legacy of awesome does not fade.Read full review...

Quintessential Doors

The Best of the Doors original 1985 release is the music before it was remastered. If you're a Doors it is a must have. The CDs were in great condition. I had the compilation but lost it during a move. I'm grateful to have it back. Read full review...

Lots of great Doors music

The digital age for the most part has trashed the Doors catalog but this 2CD set from 1985 is a fine sounding set & IMO worth the investment

A Great Compilation!

~ Arguably the best DOORS collection available. If you were around during the band's 'heyday', you know what these songs represent and this package is a must-have! If you're one of the millions that have 'picked up' on Jim Morrison & The Doors over the last 35 years, this package is a must-have! Not all of their finest stuff, but an excellent representation of what the group was doing....essentially making history. Morrison was the epitomy of a rock vocalist, a magical composer, and the rest of the guys were some of the most talented ever to record. THE BEST OF THE DOORS belongs in everyone's CD library. ~Read full review...

The Doors CD did not disappoint

These two CDs contain the best of their songs, I’ve always been fascinated by their music and finally have a CD of my own to listen to - to my heart’s content.

Good songs poor quality playback.

If it played right.

I just got. When I played in I thought my system had somehow gotten a short. I messed with speaker and other various wires. Didn't seem to help.

Finally I shut down the CD and played something else and had no issues. I think there is some flaw in my copy.

No there are no scratches but not sure the beam can read the pits and lands properly.Read full review...
