What’s the hook?
The Doors self-titled debut is quintessential to the psychedelic rock genre and included massive hits for the Doors including ‘Break On Through (To The Other Side)’ and ‘Light my Fire’ which spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
The title was acclaimed, receiving 4 and 5 stars from the likes of AllMusic and Q, whilst it was ranked number 42 in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time list. The publication stated "though great albums followed, 'The Doors' stands as the L.A. foursome's most successful marriage of rock poetics with classically tempered hard rock — a stoned, immaculate classic.”
