41.  The Doors (LP). The Doors. Jan 1967.
The Doors opened up a whole new realm of musical and lyrical possibilities when the delivered this diverse and dazzling debut album to the world. 'The Doors' is an album of extraordinary breadth - froma radio friendly classics like 'Light My Fire' and 'Break On Through', to anguished Oedipal epics like 'The End', where Morrison's poetic drama is allowed to weave sinuously through the band's electric free-form.
The record was recorded in one week with the band keeping a collective clear head by laying off the stimulants and playing live in the incense infused studio. Whatever spell The Doors cooked up in the seance like recording sessions, it worked.
