The Doors - The Doors1967 is where is starts to get to be a YUGE pain in the ass to pick the 10 best. Spots 1- 3 are pretty obvious IMHO, but then there are about 17 other albums competing to fill 7 spots. I couldn't make up my mind and opted to leave off the F.O. Peter Puffer Option.
Pepper is one of those records that is very high on my list, but it's no even in my Top 3 most favorite Beatles albums. It's likely the most important rock record of all time, but there's just a bit too much of Paul getting cute to keep it from being a GOAT type personal favorite. The debut Doors album on the other hand has so much cool factor that I can listen to it over and over and never get bored.

In all of college football, there are few schools which have such a fitting and iconic rock song as Purple Haze. The only other one that comes to mind is Sweet Home Alabama. But Skynyrd was from Florida, not Bammer.dnc said:I BLEED purple

The Doors - The DoorsThe Doors became an almost obsession when I was in college...”Summer of Love” FF 12 years...the re-start of selective service registration, hostages in Iran, and the viewing (multiple) of Apocalypse Now clarified in bold terms for me that maybe I should start paying attention to what the hell was going on out here. When it came out, it was a bunch of catchy, hook-y tunes on the folks AM car radio...later, not so much, in a good way...

Are You Experienced? - HendrixIt's not close IMO. Experienced was something completely new.

Hendrix was indeed a revelation coming off of bubble gum top 40 single radio -

The Doors - The DoorsNot even 1 vote for Pepper? I'm schocked. @Gladstone ?
Are Your Experienced and The Doors should both get bids but to see Pepper left out of a 64 greatest albums tourney? Lol. Only on a college football message bored. -
Are You Experienced? - HendrixI'd change my vote if I could. It's ridiculous. The Beatles arent all that popular here though.
-
Sgt. Pepper - The Beatlescan’t take too much issue with hendrix winning but goddamn. i could argue sgt. pepper for the GOAT of any album or band out of any year or genre

The Doors - The Doors
People forget that the Stones beat out the Beatles to make the Final 4 of my shitty rock tournament. I think most here really do appreciate the Beatles but our demographic here is such that they will never be the most popular HH band.chuck said:I'd change my vote if I could. It's ridiculous.

I’m an obsessed Beatles fan and have been from 10 yrs of age. This will never change. I just like the Stones even more. -
The Beatles suck.

The Beatles are in the category of I've heard your songs one million times so its done. Over. Fini
-
The Doors - The Doors
There are some songs I can hear a million times and they never get old. The Beatles had a number of them. None of the cutesy Paul songs are included however.RaceBannon said:The Beatles are in the category of I've heard your songs one million times so its done. Over. Fini

I mean literally a million. From the day they were released.

Are You Experienced? - Hendrix
He has a handful of softer songs as a Beatle that I think hold up. Most of them don't though.YellowSnow said:

I've never subscribed to the "I've heard it too many times" school of thought. Most of the top 20-30 Beatles songs on my list havent gotten radio play in my lifetime anyways. I doubt this is true of grandpa Race, but most of the Beatles haters here probably couldnt name a handful of their songs aside from the 20 or so #1 hits they had...plus yellow submarine. -
Velvet Underground and Nico - Velvlet UndergroundGood thing being out of range of classic rock stations that only play the same songs over and over and over again, is I listen to my obscure music.
Thus I do not hear the Beatles one million times. Revolver is my favorite and there really wasn't a lot of radio play time for that one which was good. At the same time I did not listen to top 40 radio I was more a Dr. Demento kind of guy and Side B songs.
Sgt. Pepper was and is a classic that I have fond memories of, just did not vote that way -
The Doors - The DoorsThe Doors and Are You Experienced should both get in. TBD if a 3rd album from 1967 gets a chinvite.
