Description
This is Jim Morrison, lead singer with The Doors and member of the infamous 27 club (Hendrix, Cobain, Joplin, Winehouse, etc). I felt like doing some painting today, and this is what I cooked up! I've never drawn or painted him before, so please excuse any inaccuracies or whatever.Hope you like it, please don't use without my permission, comments always welcome

This looks so cool!
I don't have any of their albums, what one would you recommend?

Thanks, and thanks for the fave!
Well, while 'The Doors' (their debut album) has some real classics on it (I'd recommend 'Break on Through to the Other Side', 'Light My Fire' & 'The Crystal Ship') there are a few weaker tracks & isn't their greatest or most original.
Strange Days is possibly the most accessible Doors album for the uninitiated, since it's not that aggressive sounding and it has no 7 minute long guitar rambles like The End or L.A. Woman etc that don't necessarily make for the easiest listening. It's still got the weird psychedelia with Horse Latitudes, it just isn't overpowering on the album. Notable songs include 'Strange Days, Love Me Two Times, People Are Strange & Moonlight Drive. It might just be my favourite of their albums, come to think of it!
Waiting For the Sun can be criticised as a change of style into something a bit more pop and unoriginal, but it's still a good album, just perhaps not as groundbreaking as some of the others.
The Soft Parade- I don't know that well, but I've heard though it's got some great hits like 'Touch Me', it's not all up there and isn't their strongest anyway.
Morrison Hotel- again I'm not that familiar with it, but it's meant to be very bluesy and primitive after The Soft Parade, in a good way.
L.A. Woman is the one everyone says is their best, and is very blues-rock orientated with hits like Love Her Madly and Rider on the Storm. I wouldn't personally call it their best, but I guess it comes down to personal opinion

Looks just like him! I like the style, it looks like stencil graffiti on a wall.
