The Doors Turns 50


The Doors self-titled debut album, turns 50 today.
The classic album, that marked a big revolution in American rock music was originally released on the 4th of January of 1967.
By the time of its release, it was, probably, the most psychedelic album ever, being the climax of a revolution of sound started by the Beatles with Rubber Soul and Revolver.
Also, the theme of Morrison's lyrics was something very uncommon and, sometimes, perverted (The End is unforgettable).
This album has a big pack of The Doors most famous and most acclaimed compositions (Light My Fire, Break On Through, The End) and two amazing cover versions that makes Alabama Song and Back Door Man like they where one of their original songs.
Always remember this amazing LP that changed music, society and poetry.
By the way, Los Angeles, their hometown, proclaimed today, officially, The Doors Day.
Pay attention to Strange Sound Facebook because we will remember each and every song of this album.
