At a time when most of American pop culture was immersed in flower power and hippie notions of peace and love, the Doors were the dark princes of '60s rock. The West Coast equivalent of the Velvet Underground (sort of), they embraced the seamy underbelly of American society and the dark side of the human psyche. The fact that they were able to do so while crafting outrageously catchy songs full of poetic lyrics and innovative music made them indelible rock legends. This collection, which offers a more generous song selection than the pre-existing BEST OF, kicks off appropriately with "Break on Through to the Other Side," the Doors' anthem to pushing the socio-cultural envelope. From there it's off to the blues-powered lust of "Back Door Man," the decidedly gritty wages-of-war excursion "Peace Frog," and of course the epic, once-controversial Oedipus-complex exploration "The End." For a crash course in one of the most important bands of the '60s, it's difficult to do better than THE VERY BEST OF THE DOORS.
