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?

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.

Fugazi - "Nightshop"
never looks back
― Snop Snitchin, Monday, 23 March 2009 19:36 (fifteen years ago) link
Fuck yes, I meant to add Nightshop. Epic Problem might do this too?

louie you should really try the-dream again! so many doors

probably the only spiritualized that fits is the single version of 'feel so sad'

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.

Queens, rather.
Nick, you don't possess a copy of LiLiPUT: "Eisiger Wind"???
― Kevin John Bozelka, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 09:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Or every record ever, for that matter.

I don't have any Roxy Music on CD, let alone my iPod.
― Sickamous Mouthall (Scik Mouthy), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 09:21 (fifteen years ago) link
'William, It Was Really Nothing' is an inspired choice. In a similar vein, I nominate 'Penny Lane'

IHH was one of the last non-shitty songs they did imho
― FREE DOM AND ETHAN (special guest stars mark bronson), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 10:56 (fifteen years ago) link
In addition to the Love songs already mentioned, there is also "Daily Planet" and "The Castle".
And too many Incredible String Band songs to list.

Slow Life would be my alt, so yeah.
Is the live 12" version of "The man don't give a fuck" too long for this?
― Mark G, Tuesday, 24 March 2009 11:00 (fifteen years ago) link
SM, I'm sending you my traxx. You'll be submitting a final compilation at some point, I'm guessing? I didn't have any Moonshake on hand, so I included "Dream by Dream" by The Chills instead. I also omitted the Granddaddy track, per LJ' s observation.
― 2 ears + 1 ❤ (Pillbox), Tuesday, 24 March 2009 11:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Oh man, I was just thinking of "Dream by Dream" by The Chills!
