FUN FACT: Paul Rothchild who produced all 5 studio albums prior to L A Woman, began producing this album and got 3 tracks down including "LA Woman" and "Riders on the Storm", but quit after they recorded "Love Her Madly", hating the song, calling it "cocktail music". Engineer Bruce Botnik took over and the rest is Doors history.

In 1969 I was 14, always having lived in Liverpool, having heard the Beatles from day one of their output. I'd heard the Beach Boys, Motown, the Stones, the Who and many more justifiable legends besides. And then one night in my cousin's house I heard the album Strange Days. It knocked me into another dimension, and I'm still orbiting it as I near 70 courtesy of all their other music. The Doors were and still are phenomenal - end of!

I have loads of Scouser friends and lived in the city for a long time. I can't imagine how vibrant the scene must've been in those days. But you're right about The Doors - they are unique, no one sounds quite like them, no one has ever tried to copy them (that I'm aware of) and it would be impossible anyway. Such a unique set up instrumentally and also Jim Morrison's lyrics/poetry are on another plane. Truly a stand-out in rock and roll history. Jim Morrison inspired so many with his stage persona too, namely Iggy Pop I think who also carved out a niche with The Stooges and then his solo stuff, working with Bowie. Iggy's collection of stuff is where you'll find something which sounds closest to The Doors but still not quite.

Totally agree. The Doors are easily one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. L.A. Woman is a great album and an all time classic. From 1967-1971 The Doors released 6 studio albums, all of which are all time classic albums. For a band to release that many albums of such high quality during such a relatively short period of time (4 years) is remarkable.

1971 was such a great year for music.

Recorded December 1970--January 1971, released April 19, 1971. I was a junior in high school. Sadly, on July 3, 1971 Jim Morrison left this world for the giant gig in the heavens.

Robbie wrote that about his wife,Lynn. When they would fight,she would walk out the door and slam it hard.

I received this album in vinyl form from a previous roommate and friend several years ago. He said he found it thrifting for under a dollar years prior and he was ready to part with it. I liked it a lot and after owning it for a couple of years I began to dive deeper into live recordings, reading numerous books on Jim Morrison and The Doors- I was so intrigued and pleasured with what I continued to find! In 2016 I got hit on the shoulder of the road as I was pulled over to send a text message. Traumatic brain injury, hemorrhaging of the brain and a week long coma. My short memory was suddenly so poor afterwards and it was so difficult to remember what I was doing at any time. I began to dive back into the doors and An American Prayer specifically- listening to all of it every day until I had every lyric instilled within me. It helped me so much in my recovery and still does to this day and now I wear MR MOJO RISIN tattooed on my arm. A groovy anagram. I hope I can thank Jim one day- and the rest of the members for what they gave me. X

I was born on July 2 the day before Jim exited this frequency.❤

It was springtime '71 and the release of this album created a huge buzz in our high school. I remember many discussions about it in my homeroom class. The rounded corners of the album cover generated a lot of comment. No one had ever seen an album cover shaped like that before. At the time, it was considered almost as revolutionary as the Sergeant Pepper album cover. With Love Her Madly rising up the charts and summer break about to begin, it was a heady time for fans of the 'Doors. Then a few weeks later, we got the news from Paris... I blame it all on L'America and it's so-called justice system for hounding Jim into fleeing the country. He didn't do anything in Miami that warranted the way that they persecuted him. Once he was in Paris, he ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time. He either scored some bad dope or snorted some.of Pam's that he mistakenly thought was coke. He probably never would have went to Paris if it wasn't for the government's prosecution of him.

Aneay, the Princed covered it up, dropped Pam like someday cigarette... she lost everything cause she was dumb and an addict more than a drug user. She became a crackwhore, literally six for hits.

This album proved The Doors still had a ton left in the tank.

Think of the live Doors show that could’ve been with a beefed up sound and a more sober Jim. Wasn’t meant to be. But this album JAMS.

The WASP is among the most incredible of Morrison's lyrics. One last blast of greatness before fading away with Riders on the Storm.

"I need someone, yeah, who doesn't need me." "It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play." -- I love Hyacinth House. Love the whole album. The song LA Woman had me entranced in high school and still does. Just 4 words and you can almost smell LA's seamy underbelly in the late 60s-- "Motel, Money, Murder, Madness."

how about: 'never saw a woman SO alone' .... when you consider metaphorically, the woman was LA itself. the leading media capital of the world. microcosm of the manufacturing of amer culture, envy, media etc. An increasing empty pit of narcissism. Addictive envy. once played out thru its lineal course, one only ends up more craven & unsatisfied. wh/ takes you back full circle to a society, increasingly connected, yet inversely more and more alone. He nailed it in 6 words.

I think this is the best Doors album. That's not because it is their best work ever, but because recording technology had advanced quite a bit in the short years between the first album and this one. It's got more tracks, and is dialed in better than earlier records. There is not a bad Doors album. They're all worth a listen. This one is the best sounding, and given that it's the last one with Jim, it's his farewell.

the doors the greatest to ever do it, peace to all my foreign friends

My very favourite Doors song is Touch Me. I don’t think I’ve ever quite recovered from being a teenager and seeing Jim et al. on the Ed Sullivan show. Still takes my breath away thinking about it. My mother was made to watch and listen too as she walked about tidying up. Bet she was as impressed as I was.

Said this in another thread, so apologies for plagiarizing myself, but: The Doors are not "the greatest band of their time," as so many wld have it. They are timeless, they are for all times. As we still listen to Bach and Beethoven 200 & 300 years on, our great-grandchildren's great-grandchildren will be listening to The Doors.

Best songs from this album are rarely heard on the radio. Changeling, Been Down So Long, Crawling King Snake, The Wasp.

My favorite The Doors album and in top 10 best music ever created on planet earth.

The Doors Jim Morrison - vocals Ray Manzarek - keyboards including Hammond on "Changeling"; Vox Continental on "Love Her Madly" rhythm guitar on "Been Down So Long"; Rhodes piano on "Riders on the Storm" Robby Krieger - lead guitar John Densmore - drums Additional musicians Jerry Scheff - bass Marc Benno - rhythm guitar on "Been Down So Long", "Cars Hiss by My Window", "L.A. Woman" and "Crawling King Snake"

The first Doors I ever bought on vinyl was L.A. Woman when I was 17. A very raw album that packs a punch. Definitely one the band's greatest albums.

It comes down for me over the decades that I can only say which LPs I like best, or even just certain songs. This here was an achievement as a swan song, to be sure; but earlier songs just continue to call to me as what haunts me the most...and most of those are on the first two LPs. Still-- such a classic band, and as unique as imaginable--especially the feel, the challenge certain songs present like When The Music's Over, The End, End of the Night, Crystal Ship, LMF, Unhappy Girl, You're Lost Little girl, etc. stand the test of time

This is the epitome of the band's evolution to blues-the essence of what they became or the development into what they always were. A strong finish. It continues with even more force the bounce back begun with Morrison Hotel. The Doors will always be defined by the psychedelia but were much more.
