It´s an excerpt from "An American Prayer" and not a song really. But I would still like to include it in my 3 choices.  Wow I'm sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
South
Cruel Bindings
The servants have the power
dog-men & their mean women
pulling poor blankets over
our sailors
I'm sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the T.V.
Tower. I want roses in
my garden bower, dig?
Royal babies, rubies
must now replace aborted
Strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal
For the plant that's plowed
They are waiting to take us into
The Severed Garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like scaring over-friendly guest you've
Brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
& gives us wings
where we once had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws
No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
Until it's other jaw reveals incest
I will not go
Prefer a Feast of Friends
To the Giant Family

It depends on the person. I wouldnt send LA Woman because its long and most ppl who dont know the Doors would probably be bored by it.
But I would pick ones based on what the person already liked. The Doors did enough styles that you can probably find ones that fit in with their tastes. Then as they explore the band on their own theyll come to like tunes more that they wouldnt have if you started em off with it.
Most of us enjoy "Touch Me" wheather we want to admit it or not. But if that had been the song that we were introduced to the band with........ we might not have pursued hearing any more. :-P

THIS is my favourite monica! as for LA woman for introducing the doors to someone..it was the second doors album i heard and i adored it from the off. but i know what your saying..it can be an aquired taste and robably would be best easing them into it with the other faves... |

Well I have turned lots of people on to the doors music, and Jims poetry. I never use certain songs. infact my niece heard my soft parade cd playing one day and she liked runnin blue which was actually written by robbie. She like other songs off that album, and she got into them she even had a teacher at school that was into the doors and he gave her an a on a paper she did on jim. I have several nieces and nephews and a host of friends who all have become more passionate about the doors since they met me. Any one who meets me knows very quikly what the doors mean to me. If i were to have to choose three songs I think my choices would be FIVE TO ONE (especially the end where he says with that ever sexy voice "go on home and wait for me and I'll be there in just a little while" Then that laugh)  THE CHANGELING (love the vocals) LOVE ME TWO TIMES (For female recruitees) I even have to sing doors songs to put my children (and husband) to sleep at night. And the whole camp when we go camping they love for me to sing them "Mywildlove" in the tents before we go to sleep. i love it. The Doors mean so much to me and my family I dont know what I would do with out jim. RIP |

I got my metalhead gf into em by playing darker ones I figured would appeal to her.
"Whisky, Mystics & Men"
"Curses & Invocations"
"Feast Of Friends"
Before she hated em.. now she thinks they're pretty good. :-P

I'd make a double CD-R.
Disc one: All single versions 1967 - 1983.
Disc two: Deep cuts, live and studio.
One would need all the correct sources, of course, for disc one. Hit 'em over the head with what an undeniably great singles band they were (hits and misses) and then give them a broad sampling of deep cuts ... I will have to have a think about the track listing ... hmmm ...
