专辑简介

From 1967 through 1971, the Doors with lead singer Jim Morrison recorded six studio albums. Their music has since been repackaged a great number of times and this Very Best of offered at iTunes includes a few new twists: remixes of “L.A. Woman” by Paul Oakenfold, “Roadhouse Blues” by the Crystal Method and a seven and a half minute Adam Freeland Fabric Mix of “Hello, I Love You” are among the additions. While these update and reinterpret the Doors for a new generation, there’s still plenty of magic in the band’s original grooves. From the opening drama of the band’s debut single, “Break on Through (to the Other Side)” to the final ocean washes of “Riders on the Storm,” the Doors explored an unusual terrain that encompassed jazz, classical, blues, flamenco and their own carnivalesque psychedelia with the ambitious poetry of Jim Morrison, whose flair for the dramatic created individualistic songs such as “The Unknown Soldier,” “The End” and “When the Music’s Over,” as well as dark, catchy pop tunes (“People Are Strange,” “Love Me Two Times,” “Light My Fire”). The Doors blended it all together for an enduring legacy.
