The Doors set sail on a journey of discovery on an uncharted sea in 1965 as the antithesis of the San Francisco 'peace & love' scene. They were seen as both the personification of evil and the future of rock and roll and became the self confessed Kings of Acid Rock but which of thier albums if any was a true psychedelic wonder? And while we are at it what do you guys think is the song that nails the band as 'psychedelic'?I choose Strange Days & 'I Can't See Your Face In My Mind'  but Full Circle certainly has the most psychedelic cover ever on a Doors album and some quite trippy music.......LA Woman/Other Voices and Morrison Hotel are not included as they are more bluesy than trippy...... |

I'll also go with Strange Days album, but I think When The Music's Over the scream of Robby's guitar personifies acid rock for me.

Strange Days. NTTTE has always sounded very psychedlic to me and it'd seem more appropriate on Stranges Days as well.

Thats an interesting point you raise Jimbo as the thread on COTL makes the point that if COTL had been around earlier it might have made a decent album cut..... SD would probably have been a decent home for the Doors epic......but of course we would have lost an entire side to accomadate it which would not have been so good.... As you say COTL makes more sense on SD than on WFTS as was envisaged by the band....  |

If they could've pulled it together for Waiting For The Sun Album it probably would've rivalled Strange Days in the area of psychedelia, a glimpse of what the album could've been was in the book Glimpses by Lewis Shiner who I bring up every quarter of a year or so but it is well worth any Doors fans attentions. |

It's about a guy who discovers he can travel back to the 60's to help rock stars fulfill the ambition to create their long lost albums, like Brian Wilson & Smile album, The Doors third album Celebration of Lizard, & Hendrix's New Rays of the Rising Sun. I liked it a lot read it every year for three years after discovering it.

Wonder why nobody has cast a vote for Full Circle? A very jazzy psychedelic effort....some very trippy tracks there.....OK the lyrics are bollocks but I bet they sound cool on acid? And the cover is very psychedelic Just thought I'd put a word in for it...  |

Strange Days as an album is the most psychadelic

Peppermint miniskirts, chocolate candy, champion sax and a girl named Sandy. There's only 4 ways to get unraveled, one is to sleep and the other to travel, one is a bandit up in the hills, one is to love your neighboor till..............his wife gets home.
