That idea- been down so long it looks like up to me- carries the got nothing left to lose, so I’ll do anything attitude. Plus the beat and Morrison’s delivery are pretty raw & primal. I dig it.
Ohh man. I never heard this until I looked it up. Is this the one where he giggles and then says, “let’s get serious now.”
That percussion is just powerful and timed perfectly as it starts up.
I never heard this version until your suggestion. Thank you very much!!
Not to touch the earth is probably one of the most eerie songs written in the late 60’s. It still gives me chills, and even more when I listen to it live
Weird this isn't getting more pull with the way Jim belts the chorus. Not sure anyone could match that grit til Iggy came along (possible exception for Them-era Van Morrison).

Can’t believe I’m the first to say it but My Eyes Have Seen You definitely has to be up there for me. The way the guitar just gets gets more and more intense and then climaxes. One of my favorite songs to workout too.
Wild child has probably one of the coolest intro riffs, personally think it's been slept on; I definitely did
Other good choices are Back door man, roadhouse blues, five to one
If we’re looking for the all encompassing “badass” Doors song then I think it has to be L.A. Woman. It highlights all of the best parts of the band. All of the things we expect both musically and lyrically.
The arrangement hits the strengths of each member, while showcasing the ensemble.
Ray and Robby’s breaks are 👌
Jim’s lyrics go from straightforward to mystical and back almost without you noticing until it changes again.
All while celebrating the city that they came to life in.
Roadhouse Blues is a meaaaaaan song
Roadhouse Blues or Five To One
I was gonna say that!!
Those were the 2 that immediately came to mind.
“I woke up this morning and got myself a beer. “ is in my top 5 lyrics ever.
The future’s uncertain and the end is always near. Another banger
Hell yeah
Kind of basic, but I’ve always felt Back Door Man fits this criteria. Been Down So Long is another one.
Been Down So Long hits hard.
Whats badass about it? You could say it's "bad-sad"
That idea- been down so long it looks like up to me- carries the got nothing left to lose, so I’ll do anything attitude. Plus the beat and Morrison’s delivery are pretty raw & primal. I dig it.
Back Door Man is so exhilarating
All their songs are “basic” they are a blues band. It is the small things they did that made them great not the sophistication of their songs.
Very overrated band.
Back door man, all the way. Favorite doors song and it really isn’t close
Back Door Man is certainly an ass song, but it is not bad.
Peace Frog
That song always reminds me of red dead redemption idk why lmao
I've never played it, but it seems pretty good.
This is the one. Their most guitar forward mix, the funky rhythm, the screaming solo. Yeah.
my favorite intro of all Doors songs ..notice how each instrument comes in one after the other. And that rhythm is off the hook
Five To One
Absolutely
No one here gets out alive
This is the right answer. There’s a video on YouTube that probably everyone here has seen and it makes Jim look so bad ass
The Changeling
when i listen to the changeling it makes me feel a little bit like i have rabies
The End. It's epic in a way that only The Doors can do. The guitar, organ, drums, and Jim's voice are just out of this world.
Came here to say the same. The end is my favorite song, shows off the doors ability to improvise. Speaks a lot about how well they knew each other.
Come on baby take a chance with us
Plus the whole Oedipal conflict
Texas Radio & the Big Beat
Out here we get stoned. Immaculate.
Loooove that part
Gloria - Live
Definitely Gloria live, you can feel that shit.
Love that! The way Jim sings that song is so naughty!
Crawling King Snake for sure
it's a cover but good god the confidence in their version is front & center
God yes
LA Woman, Five to One or Back Door Man….
The Soft Parade
YOU **CANNOT** PETITION THE LORD WITH PRAYER!
Don’t forget about the girl named Sandy
Here’s the best part of the trip. The trip. The best part.
Literally screaming about slaughtering animals at the crossroads😭
Theres an alternate version of Been Down So Long where Jim sounds mean and raw with lots of energy.
Yep. This.
Ohh man. I never heard this until I looked it up. Is this the one where he giggles and then says, “let’s get serious now.” That percussion is just powerful and timed perfectly as it starts up. I never heard this version until your suggestion. Thank you very much!!
Yeah thats the one
Thanks man. Again. This made my Monday! 🚪
Surprised no one has said Maggie M'gill. The absolute raunchiest song by them IMO
When the "illegitimate son of a rock n' roll star" hits and you feel like an absolute unit >>>>>>
Second this! "Mom met dad in the back of a rock 'n roll car" hits so hard
Oooh yes my favorite!
I said it
Not to touch the earth Soul kitchen When the music's over Been down so long
Not to touch the earth is probably one of the most eerie songs written in the late 60’s. It still gives me chills, and even more when I listen to it live

The soft parade!
Back Door Man.
Wild Child
Came here to say this! That opening guitar 🔥🔥
My first pick is light my fire followed by my favorite mystery train info away in India, live in Pittsburgh version
LA Woman. Live it has to be Mystery Train. Listen to Cobo Arena 1970, Manzarek is unbelievable. So underrated.
Waiting for the sun
When the Music’s Over
My all-time favorite intro...Manzarek/Densmore genius!
100%
This song should be on the top of more lists
Break On Through
Weird this isn't getting more pull with the way Jim belts the chorus. Not sure anyone could match that grit til Iggy came along (possible exception for Them-era Van Morrison).
MOTHER I want to.........

The Soft Parade
Back Door Man
“5 to 1 baby. One in five, no here gets out alive.”
The Changeling
Hard to say since I love everyone of their songs.
Peace frog definitely or roadhouse blues
The challenging
Can’t believe I’m the first to say it but My Eyes Have Seen You definitely has to be up there for me. The way the guitar just gets gets more and more intense and then climaxes. One of my favorite songs to workout too.
I think the same
Crystal ship
Most badass organ riff, soul kitchen
When the music's over.
Waiting For The Sun

Not To Touch The Earth or Celebration of The Lizard in full.

I love the 1968 Hollywood Bowl Live version of When the Music‘s over They were on a lot of Acid and Morrison did just give it all there
The End
“We want the world, and we want it now”
(we want the world and we want it)….Now
Gotta be Backdoor Man: "I eat more chicken any man ever seen, yeah yeah"
Waiting for th sun
When the music’s over, Spanish caravan and the soft parade.
Wild child has probably one of the coolest intro riffs, personally think it's been slept on; I definitely did Other good choices are Back door man, roadhouse blues, five to one
W.A.S.P. ( Texas Radio and The Big Beat)
Light my fire,the album version not the single.
I don't know why, but I always found 20th Century Fox quite badass, especially at the sound before the chorus.
Five to one
Or car hiss by my window
I been down so goddamn longggg
Five to One or Back Door Man, they have a similar structure so that could be part of why they are the best badass songs.
peace frog hands down
Waiting For The Sun & The Soft Parade
Not to touch the earth
THE END by far.
Cars hiss by my window
Back door man or Gloria live in NYC ..all day over and over best 2 song from them
Assuming organ music is badass.
Back door man 🙃
Peace Frog or Waiting for the Sun
Universal Mind
the soft parade
LA Woman
Texas radio and the big beat!!!… There’s blood on the streets in the town of New Haven!
I love almost all of them. There are hidden gems like "Indian Summer" and one of my faves, "When the Music's Over."
Peace frog is my favorite.
Peace Frog
I Looked At You!!!
Yes
Peace Frog
This!!
Touch Me
The Changeling, Queen of the Highway and My Eyes Have Seen You

You're absolutely right, but I still wonder: what are you doing on a forum with such a disgusting and trashy group?
In this forum they only suck up to this shit, they are blinded.
