Hey, folks! This month's poll is gonna be a little different: I'm doing a collab with a friend of mine, and they're making a video about the history of The Doors, so instead of four songs from four different artists, I need y'all to help me choose between four different songs by that band! The regular poll series will return next month.

Break On Through (To The Other Side), by The Doors

Light My Fire, by The Doors

People Are Strange, by The Doors

Love Me Two Times, by The Doors

My vote was s not staying for me, just know it's for break on through.

Travis Young

I've hated the doors for going on forty years now, so uhh.. None of the above?

Nicolas Busse

Oh what a difficult choice; all different directions in the musical compass

Am Queue

I chose people are strange cause it's my favorite lyrics, but beak and love me are the other two I'd be interested in

Karel P Kerezman

My stint in the classic-rock-radio mines left me with very little lingering affection for The Doors (but I dislike them less than The Eagles, so there's that). But... welp, vote cast!

Some very interesting musical things happening in some of these songs; looking forward to it.

I was a fan when I was young, but at some point I realized their music is just fluff with the insistence it's super deep.

Unseen Branches

It’s from the point of view of a character and is very much not an endorsement of the behavior depicted. But it is musically interesting at least.

Catherine Berry

I burned out hard on the Doors listening to rock radio in the 70s. Since then, I've warmed to a few of their songs, but they're still largely "meh" for me. One thing I just can't get past is that Jim Morrison is a terrible singer. He has a range of less than an octave, and he's often flat, especially on higher notes. I've annoyed several friends by pointing this out; once you notice it, you can't un-hear it.

Michael Mol

Same here; vote not sticking, "break on through"

Joshua Clark

Being strange myself, I couldn't help voting for that one.

Joshua Clark

And, to get weird, I will point out we could have gotten the whole groups groove, if you had a 5th option for Craigslist.

Samuel Ollesh

I hope that we note People are Strange opens that GOAT vampire movie The Lost Boys.

Votes for Riders on the Storm. Oh wait...

Brian Miller

Don't be Curt. ExBrecht yourself.

Damn... a lot of shade for The Doors amongst the patrons! 😆 From the available choices, I went with People Are Strange. If I was just going to pick a Doors song for the 12tone treatment, I'd probably pick Twentieth Century Fox...

Voting from Santa Cruz, where the Lost Boys was shot (stand-in for fictional Santa Carla). It had to be People are Strange.

DAVID SULLIVAN

I like where your heads at Darrell !

DAVID SULLIVAN

Yes ! I'm glad i'm not the only one who immediately went there, and then to Riders On The Storm. But i will not complain of any treatment of The Doors.

DAVID SULLIVAN

Oh man The Lost Boys reference is a kick back ! My wife was in an air band for the theme and i was always blown away by how well Echo & The Bunnymen did covering this Doors classic.

Jacob Merchant

No Riders on the Storm? That'd be my pick of Doors tunes.

Travis Young

Yes, but it was a cover by Echo and the Bunnymen, so...

Travis Young

Heh. I went to high school there. I have, in fact, jumped off that bridge!

Unseen Branches

Catherine, I did get that eventually but was not awake at enough at the time. I immediately jumped to having to defend the song, which I have had to do before because of the very sketchy second verse:
