There's no denying that Doors singer Jim Morrison was one of the most charismatic front men of his generation. Unfortunately he was one of the most troubled, too.

Even though Roadhouse Blues was the only popular track on it, it's filled with gems that had the band moving in a more bluesy direction. 5:20pm this afternoon, live or on-line.
Light My Fire from the Doors first album got so much attention (and still does today) that the other tracks from the set seem forgotten. Enter: the Vinyl Vault!
