6. The Soft Parade: Can’t say I’m a fan of most anything here. Touch Me is the only one really worth listening to imo.
come on, really? shaman's blues? the title track? tell all the people? i mean i understand how someone could rank it in the lower tier considering just how amazingly consistent the doors' discography really is but to say touch me is the only highlight kind of sounds to me like deliberately missing the point, tbh
i agree with many of your other takes including the weird al thing
The title track on Soft Parade always felt like a drunken imitation of The End or When The Music's Over to me. It's been a very long time since I've listened to the rest of the album but my impression is of forgettable mid-period stuff along with Waiting for the Sun (the album not the song).
As for me, I'm the lone vote for Morrison Hotel so far. It's probably not as good technically as their eponymous album, Strange Days or LA Woman but I love it all the same, and it feels like a perfect balance between blues and psychedelic. Peace Frog -> Blue Sunday is an all-time highlight.
