I bought a bootleg of "Other Voices" years and years ago, and I remember thinking 'shit....this isn't bad at all' contrary to my expectations. Then again thinking back on it, it probably is kind of bad. Worth listening to once or twice though. I think a few of the songs may have been written with Jim in mind...

four months pass...

[Months later, reads end of thread.] Dan, the greatest hits/housewives thing was a joke, referencing something somebody wrote on another thread.

Sorry, I was drunk for most of this.

Not really.

Yes.

No.

Yeah, I think I'd had a couple of beers, too, actually.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Friday, 20 May 2005 20:52 (nineteen years ago) link

It's from a Kids In the Hall sketch ("Doors fan"). "Greatest hits albums are for housewives and little girls".

Oh yeah, I knew I got it from somewhere. Thanks, Sundar! I also quoted another line from that on this thread.

the greatest hits are for housewives line is from a Kids in the Hall skit about a guy who comes to a store and asks for depeche mode, to which the clerk says "we have it...but it sucks". Google kids in the hall and doors for the full script. It's hilarious.

haha. They are such an asshole...

What video of theirs had Native Americans in it, circa 1985 on MTV?

― The Silent Disco of Glastonbury (Bimble...), Friday, 27 May 2005 05:12 (nineteen years ago) link

???

did they make a video for something off Alive, She Cried maybe? I can't remember.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Friday, 27 May 2005 05:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Bimble - that video you're thinking of is "Wild Child."

1.Break On Thru (To The Other Side)
2.Peace Frog
3.The Crystal Ship
3.Light My Fire
5.Love Me Two Times
5.Soul Kitchen
5.Moonlight Drive
8.Waiting For The Sun
8.Not To Touch The Earth
10.The WASP (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)

I can name 6-7 others that I think are as good as WASP, but the quality of their music dips sharply right after that. Haven't heard it in so long, I wish I could remember if the whole "Celebration Of The Lizard" extravaganza is good enough to make the ten.

Thanks!

10. Jose Feliciano
9. NO BASS PLAYER OMGWTFLOL!?!?!?!?!
8. That Kids in the Hall sketch
7. Oliver Stone really blows, doesn't he?
6. That "brain in the road/squirming like a toad" couplet
5. Perpetuating the whole bullshit "rock lyrics=POETRY" ethos
4. Perpetuating the whole bullshit "drunkenly flashing your tiny shriveled phallus at a crowd=THE SPIRIT OF THE ERA, YOU JUST HAD TO BE THERE" ethos
3. Though I guess any band whose biographical movie gets Kyle McLachlan and Crispin Glover paying jobs can't be all bad
2. On the other hand, Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan, eeuurrgghh I just threw up in my mouth
1. Jim Morrison's bloated, hairy, pickled-in-alcohol corpse

Isn't "Love Her Madly" hated by Doors obsessives? I think there may even be a passing joke to that effect in the Kids in the Hall sketch...seems well liked enough by ILMers above.

Well, if you become a Doors fan, Love Her Madly is the only song you won't like.

― sleepingsignal, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 04:06 (eleven years ago) link

i think it's more of a comment on the 'real fans hate the pop hit' cliche than any particular truism about Doors fans. i could see "Light My Fire" or "Touch Me" being the taboo song instead.

― my mans ray manzarek (some dude), Wednesday, 22 May 2013 04:57 (eleven years ago) link

why do so many people like peace frog? I seem to remember there was a whole thread on here for that track with several people saying they hate the doors but like peace frog. was it in some movie or something?

― wk, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 05:07 (eleven years ago) link

or maybe there wasn't a specific thread. more like on every doors thread there are a handful of people saying peace frog is the only one they like. wtf? Is it the one acceptable track for people who don't like the gothy mysterioso side of the doors? but how did they even hear it? it wasn't on any of the big greatest hits packages as far as I can tell.

― wk, Wednesday, 22 May 2013 05:23 (eleven years ago) link

they like the groove and that guitar sound
