I can think of a few:
"C'n'C-S Mithering", The Fall"Lights Out For Darker Skies", British Sea Power"Shaking Hand", Women
and probably a lot more, but it's tough gauging which songs are really just a couple of otherwise separate tunes bolted together vs. those are a pretty ingenious patchwork.

Louis, help me think of Verve example.

Sit & Wonder might almost do it.
Or This Is Music.

lol what about "Noise Epic"
or uh
"Gravity Grave"

or "Feel"!
Trying to pick one that isn't 8 minutes long...

Pavement and The Clash must have something that fits.
I keep thinking of stuff like "Embassy Row", but I'm all like, Aw, that's just a little intro, no more part of the song than Wounded Kite was to Trigger Cut.
But then you've got something like "Half A Canyon". That'd work here, I think.

None of those Verve tracks fit.

I didn't think they did tbh. When I did my iTunes scour, I overlooked them for the reason tat their songs, even when long, are generally locked in one swirly groove

Best I could come up with re: Verve is "Stamped," which is still basically one extended groove/jam, though it occurs in series of fits and starts which could possibly be considered rooms?

lots of songs have 2 doors: Roxy Music - Mother of Pearl for example
― CaptainLorax, Monday, 23 March 2009 19:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Bowie 'Station to Station'The Beatles 'Revolution 9'Led Zeppelin 'Dazed & Confused'
The Verve don't fit, their songs mostly stick to a groove. You're looking more for things like time changes, changes in instrumentation, etc I take it?
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 23 March 2009 19:25 (fifteen years ago) link
I also forgot one of my all-time fave house music examples of this:
Smooth Touch: "House of Love"
Challenge: to find a James Brown track with many doors
― Kevin John Bozelka, Monday, 23 March 2009 19:30 (fifteen years ago) link
I think you can keep a groove going and have major melodic / other changes that would qualify as "room with many doors" songwriting, but generally, yes, time changes / total arrangement shifts are what we're talking about, I think.

What about Roxy Music's If There Is Something? In the beginning a boring country rock ballad but then it takes off into melodramatic loveland. Bryan Ferry almost drowns in his tears.

'William, It Was Really Nothing' is an inspired choice. In a similar vein, I nominate 'Penny Lane'
