For my money, The Doors are the most overrated band in history. That said, this is my favorite effort from them, when their stuff was still fresh. Break on Through and Light My Fire are just classics, The End is provocative(to say the least). Twentieth Century Fox and the Crystal Ship are other standouts. Enjoyable album to the very end.

No kidding.

I have heard cuts 5 and 6 only, of which 5 is much the best.

Heard it.... LOVE it. "Today" has always been, and will always be, one of my all time favorite songs.

Great album... great.

I've heard "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love", which are both good...and that's all.

I know I've heard some of these songs, but not enough to be able to recall them without hearing at least a clip. Still, the simple fact that it's The Kinks is about enough to convince me. tongue

Pretty good album. I have this one, but it's been a while since I've listened to it though. Waterloo Sunset is my favorite on here.

I love The Jam's version of "David Watts" but haven't heard the original.

Haven't heard this one. I've been meaning to get into Donovan for some time now. He's on my list of artists I want to know more about.
