goose Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 LA Woman sounds great, but the material isn't as interesting overall as some of the other albums, imo. Riders on the Storm is an achievement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This where I stop voting. All 4 of these are essential to me as a huge fan of the band and I simply can't eliminate any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. Backer Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 L.A. Woman has too many iconic songs. Morrison Hotel is just a hair below it. But "splitting hairs," really applies at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78jazz Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 L.A. Woman has too many iconic songs. Morrison Hotel is just a hair below it. But "splitting hairs," really applies at this point. Outside of the title track and the final track, what other songs would be iconic? (Note: This is a different discussion for me is side 1 was as good as side 2.)

78jazz Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yes to The WASP. No to Love Her Madly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yes to The WASP. No to Love Her Madly. You don't think that's one of their signature songs? It's on pretty much every one of their greatest hits packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78jazz Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 That does not mean it is good. Even Krieger thought it was too commercial during discussions in 1971 of what to release as a single. Riders was the second choice after Madly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 "Too commercial." Translation: "Real fans," don't like it because it doesn't allow them to show people that they're really into the band and know the more obscure stuff. It's on their greatest hits albums, all 50 of them, because it resonated with people. And since it's well known it is, by definition, "iconic." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
