The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, were formed in Los Angeles, California. The 1967 release of The Doors was the first in a series of top ten albums in the US, followed by Strange Days (1967), Waiting for the Sun (1968), The Soft Parade (1969), Morrison Hotel (1970), Absolutely Live (1970) and L.A. Woman (1971), with 19 Gold, 14 Platinum and 5 Multi-Platinum album awards in the United States alone. Although The Doors’ active career ended in 1973, their popularity has persisted. According to the RIAA, they have sold 32.5 million certified units in the US. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive gold LPs. In 1993, The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Heralded as one of the most influential bands in rock history, The Doors’ eponymous debut garnered unprecedented acclaim. The unforgettable self-titled release emerged as one of the finest initial outings made by any rock group. This multi-platinum classic is full of the group’s psychedelic sound and poetic lyrics. Frontman Jim Morrison’s bluesy vocals are simply haunting. Included is the band’s signature song, “Light My Fire,” which has sold over a million copies and topped Billboard’s Hot 100.
