Well I think that Strange Days is an excellent album, only matched by Morrison Hotel. In fact I love them all, save for Soft Parade, which IMO is by far their weakest album.
Agree with Martin, you really have to have got "into" the Doors at the time, as I did. When people would ask me what was my favourite group, I would answer "The Doors", knowing full well they expected me to say the Beatles, or the Kinks, or any other British group.
