There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day
She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh
She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'
She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A.
Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came

Cool story. Thank You for sharing it.
This song completely launched me into discovering The Doors on summer vacation at 10 years old. I was attending a soccer camp a mile from my fathers house and stayed with him the whole week. I fondly remember riding my bike home from that camp, putting this record on, dropping the needle to this song and dancing like a fool everyday with him. Miss him dearly, love ya dad RIP.
Cool story. Thank You for sharing it.

I do not like "Classic Rock" as a term. Especially, as a derogatory one. It feels ageist and, perhaps, a little jealous to me. Who needs perceived generational conflict when viewing these works? Furthermore, I cannot agree with the assertion that epic songs from Rock and Roll's early era are getting higher grades regardless of merit. The merit is definitely there.
I will agree, though, that more people know such songs over material from later eras, making it difficult for more generally unknown tunes to garner higher ratings. That said, Bill (excuse me, William :-) & Co. are doing their best to expose us to tracks that are harder to find. That's the beauty of RP.
Very well stated! ...PS: the term "Yacht Rock" really sux!

Jim was such a talent (and that voice!) but knowing of his addictions and drug abuse always give these songs something sad...
Simply a Morrison masterpiece ✌️
Always was one of my favorite Doors songs... In high school and early college years, as I was gripped by the fever to plumb their depth beyond the songs I'd heard on the radio as a kid, I was endlessly intrigued. As was the case with many authors I studied and admired, I was amazed to find how fearlessly and unflinchingly autobiographical Morrison's material was. I loved how he brought in things like, "Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven" (where he was famously harassed and roughed up by fascist cops), or, "Blood stains the roots and the palm trees of Venice" (a picturesque yet seedy seaside boardwalk town I'd first visited as a kid on a road-trip across the US in '68 with my parents), which reminded me, as The Manson Murders in '69 and other stories on The News at the time did, that even behind idyllic Hollywood movie scene-life there lurked chaos, darkness and evil, and I adored his clever wordsmithing skills that said volumes more than the words themselves: "-- weird scenes inside The Gold Mine" -- or, how he could get provocatively political with just a word or two -- "Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago," which in 1970 must have struck many a nerve, after the disastrous Democratic Convention of '68. When "An American Prayer" came out, I eagerly snapped it up. It blew me away, and kept my friends and I busy for years. It can still provide significant therapy, not to mention, countless reveries of every time and place I've heard it. To dive deep into the study of Jim Morrison and The Doors is to confront the vast abyss and participate in the search for meanings -- if only to help us cope in the face of it all. Thanks, RP!
So young. So much damn talent!

I would pretty much agree with your ranking but swapping Morrison Hotel and Strange Days, maybe.
If I had to pick one Doors song that would show someone who had no idea who or what they were about, this would be the one. It has all the angry energy and musicality that goes with that and then the sweetness that they could do in softer moments.
Agreed 100% about this couplet of songs being a great "this is what the band offers" - LLRP!!

The Doors did have a drop off after their first 2 albums, for 2 albums, and then the last 2 albums were freaking awesome (like the first 2 albums!) - I'm still a fan of all 6 of their studio albums, and my personal ranking from best to least best (ha!) is:
LA Woman (#6)
The Doors (#1)
Morrison Hotel (#5)
Strange Days (#2)
Waiting for the Sun (#3)
Soft Parade (#4)
And as I've said before, too bad Jim died after LA Woman, you could hear the blues rock coming out of them with this album, more so with LA Woman, and boy it would have been great to hear what would have been next. Oh well....Long Live RP!!
Oh...I did bump my 9 to 10 on this one today...

What's astonishing is how all the great bands of the late 60s and early 70s complimented each other's sound. The Doors filled a huge niche that no one else touched.

I find this song mesmerising and melancholic. Was only a kid in the 60's but I am still obsessed by the musicians from that period - just romanticising it really.
I can't say one era was better than another because I simply love contemporary music - it amazes me that each year somebody makes a piece of music that is still different and wonderful. The best of humanity .... now back to reality

I have never realized until now how much Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy has a vocal style so derivative of this quieter side of Jim Morrison's voice.
Both quite different in musical content but both special in their own ways - one a famous American rock star - the other a lesser known singer songwriter from a little county called Northern Ireland.

I was there, but my age was in the single digits. I was exposed to all this music because my brother and sister were teenagers, but I heard it without any perspective. That led to some odd assumptions. For instance, since "The Doors" sounded like a pretty conventional name (like The Beatles, The Supremes The Turtles, or even The Monkees) I thought they must be a little more old fashioned compared to groups with odder names like Blood, Sweat and Tears, Spirit, Creedence Clearwater Revival, etc... Morrison's baritone voice added to this perception. I confused Neil Young with Neil Diamond. I had no sense of influential genres like the Blues or R&B.
Most of all, I was convinced that music always got more experimental, and that whatever was playing next year would sound nothing like what was playing this year. Though I know better now, that constant inner search for "something new" is why I come to RP.

If you can't tell from my username, I'm a big fan of The Doors, and Peace Frog is one of my favorites. Robbie had some great licks on this track!

Morrison Hotel is a really solid album. To me it has weathered over the years better than some of their others due to being more straight ahead rock and blues with the usual Doors flavoring. It is on my iPhone.

I bought the Very Best of the Doors (with bonus tracks), and it had Peace Frog (New Stereo Mix blah blah) without Blue Sunday! I had to download the inseparable Peace Frog/Blue Sunday. I had never heard PF without Blue Sunday.

One of the greatest rock and roll bands, ever.
Jim's psycho spoken lyrics — and spoken poetry — with Ray, John, and the talented Robby Krieger trying to keep up with him or cover for him.
No one can deny they were originals.

With that organ/drum groove, I thought this was a 90s Manchester track, Happy Mondays or somesuch. At least the start of this song has aged well!

I really agree with that. It is definitely the Doors but has a more rock and roll flavor. You are right in saying that Morrison Hotel can be listened to just about any time. Whoever their session bassist is gives each tune a real push.
This album is probably my favorite after all these years.
Listenable any old time all the way through. Can't say that about any other Doors album. No deep or extreme stuff that you have to be in the mood for on this one.

Too bad he died so young. Had he not, perhaps we wouldn't believe that his music is so great, although I'm told it is even better than it sounds.

Blah. I feel this is really over rated material from a two dimensional band. These doors need to be locked and painted over.

Wow! Awesome picture! Thanks for posting.

One of my favourite Doors pieces. Love the startling seque from one to the other.

I've never liked the Doors' music much (except "Riders on the Storm,") but this isn't bad. I think "Barabajagal" by Donovan would sound good next.
I"ve grown tired of many Doors songs.
This ISN'T one of them.
Too cool.

Always was one of my favorite Doors songs... In high school and early college years, as I was gripped by the fever to plumb their depth beyond the songs I'd heard on the radio as a kid, I was endlessly intrigued. As was the case with many authors I studied and admired, I was amazed to find how fearlessly and unflinchingly autobiographical Morrison's material was. I loved how he brought in things like, "Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven" (where he was famously harassed and roughed up by fascist cops), or, "Blood stains the roots and the palm trees of Venice" (a picturesque yet seedy seaside boardwalk town I'd first visited as a kid on a road-trip across the US in '68 with my parents), which reminded me, as The Manson Murders in '69 and other stories on The News at the time did, that even behind idyllic Hollywood movie scene-life there lurked chaos, darkness and evil, and I adored his clever wordsmithing skills that said volumes more than the words themselves: "-- weird scenes inside The Gold Mine" -- or, how he could get provocatively political with just a word or two -- "Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago," which in 1970 must have struck many a nerve, after the disastrous Democratic Convention of '68. When "An American Prayer" came out, I eagerly snapped it up. It blew me away, and kept my friends and I busy for years. It can still provide significant therapy, not to mention, countless reveries of every time and place I've heard it. To dive deep into the study of Jim Morrison and The Doors is to confront the vast abyss and participate in the search for meanings -- if only to help us cope in the face of it all. Thanks, RP!
Very well stated!
