5 out of 5 stars Lights my Fire   January 3, 2009
You have to drink a glass of wine before settling down to the Doors. This man, Jim Morrison, died at the very young age of 28 due to drug overdose. You have to put yourself in that relaxed, nothing in the world matters state of mind and listen to the whole set without skipping songs. I will say the best song on here is The End. What a trippy song!! The other two great songs are Riders of the Storm and Hello, I Love You. This guy was a genius at songwriting and probably so because of the drugs he was on when he recorded. Men don't come up with lyrics like this unless their head is loose and free-flowing.


5 out of 5 stars Only one song lacking   December 13, 2008

A great selection and well sequenced, the only exceptional song that is missing is Shaman's Blues

The Very Best of the Doors takes you back into time, time when my Brother had a Super sport car, and lot's of dates. When I was Six years old and i would hang out with him while he worked on his car and we would listen to the Doors' When the Song Gloria would play we sing it out loud, and move to the beat. The Very Best of the Doors is by far the best, I now let my son (17)listen to it. The melody intertwine with two generations together. I with the old school records, and his i-pod tactics, but its still all the same music; rockin' 'n rolling till we die!!!

If you are a fan of the Doors, this is a worthwhile CD to get. I've been a fan of the Doors for MANY years and really enjoy this on my ipod.


4 out of 5 stars was in search of a better remix   June 22, 2008

I had an older Doors greatest hits cd, the one cd version that sells in bargain bins for $9, and quite frankly it was too raw for my liking, lots of treble, not much midrange or bass. I'm deaf in one ear from birth, so my opinion is obviously going to be slightly different than most people. By the way, I never understood the stereo concept though, "oo guitar is to my left, hold a sec now he jumped over to my right!"

Kidding aside, I like this mix a bit better and it seems like a solid choice of songs. I do agree with one of the reviewers (my apologies I can't seem to scroll back to find your name and give you credit where it's due, you know who you are), it sounds as if they laid the drums a bit heavy on a few songs. But overall, a good mix and less of the back and forth I'd normally get listening on headsets most common in 70's when frequent panning left and right was "the thing". I know I represent a very small population out there but if you're out there my one eared friend, check out this collection.
