Customer Rating: Summary: The Doors still ROCK! Comment: A friend of mine told me about this band and how good there music was. So, I went out and bought this 2 disc cd, and boy was I amazed at the music. I can't seem to stop playing it. Customer Rating: Summary: A classic collection Comment: This product is the same greatest hits collection that has been available for a decade, but now packaged in a slimline case rather than the old bulky double-CD case. The tracklist is identical, and I don't notice much audio quality difference between the two. The tracklist is as good now as it was 1o+ years ago. Sure, there's a little fluff in here. "Touch Me" has never sounded at home in this tracklist. I've never really liked "Roadhouse Blues" or "LA Woman", but they were hits and I guess it's nearly obligatory that they be included. Still, the rest of the tracklist is outstanding. In the iTunes-era, we aren't really bound by a pre-selected "greatest hits" lineup anyways. For the current price of $10 for this product you'll get 19 great tracks, and you can then supplement it with a few singles here and there from iTunes or Zune marketplace to build the essential Doors collection. This product contains the two long tracks, "The End" and my favorite "When the Music's Over", that cannot be purchased as single mp3's because of their length, so this collection is probably the best way to get those songs. When you're building a collection of psychedelic rock, you have to include these songs. What Donovan was to psychedelic folk, what the Zombies were to psychedelic pop, so the Doors are to psychedelic blues. This is a great value for a great record. Customer Rating: Summary: They Could Have Fit On 1 CD Comment: I felt just 19 songs could have fit on 1 CD, didn't need 2. I've seen 20 and more songs fit on 1 CD in other "Best Of" collections. I'd rather have "The Very Best Of The Doors", because it has 29 songs for less money. Customer Rating: Summary: A terrific compilation Comment: This is one of the finest compilations from one of the greatest rock bands of all time,although i would recommend the very best of the Doors which is a better compilation instead.

Editorial Reviews: The Best of The Doors delivers exactly what it promises. Rather than relying solely on the hits, this collection also mines the darker, and often richer, recesses of The Doors material resulting in a fairly representative statement. The hits are here: "Light My Fire" with Ray Manzarek's keyboards on a dizzy, psychedelic spree; "People Are Strange," with Morrison's tortured psyche barely being held in check; "L.A. Woman," with its bluesy sexuality. More important, favorites of fans are here, like the controversially (at the time) explicit "The End," which was one of the first of Morrison's forays into narrative poetry. In hits like "Break on Through," "Hello I Love You," "Roadhouse Blues," and others, The Doors melded psychedelia, blues, hard-edged rock, and poetry from the edge like no other band before. The Best of The Doors is a trip in every sense of the word. --Steve Gdula
