How odd. I've had this very lyric running through my head all day. I like The Doors and have a couple of CD's. I like the latter stuff better like LA Woman and Raodhouse Blues.

I don't know that I ever heard this one...probably have, and just don't remember, lol.

I love this lyric though! So insightful! SO poetic! Such a wonderful visual!

Im not a child of the 60s or anything, and i enjoy the doors quite a lot (though not a favourite to be honest)... but this is a quality call! great opening lines.

Well, I WAS there, one of those Sunset Strip teenie boppers, and I met Jim several times. He was a real sensitive guy, and at that time, was as beautiful as a greek god. But always drunk out of his mind. He used to pass out on stage at the Whisky almost every night. In between drinks he wrote some of the finest poetry of the 60's.

Although I agree that The Doors definitely deserve to be on this list, I would say that there are some better opening lines that could have been chosen. I would love to see The WASP (Texas Radio and The Big Beat) on here, or Touch Me (if only because it's incredibly catchy). Still, nice to have The Doors on here for sure!
