Released in 1967, The Doors was the debut album by the band The Doors, featuring their breakthrough single "Light My Fire", extended with a substantial instrumental section omitted on the single release, and the lengthy Oedipal song "The End". "Alabama Song" was originally written and composed by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill for their opera "Aufstieg und Fall der Stadt Mahagonny" ("Rise and Fall of the City Mahagonny"), "Back Door Man" was a Howlin' Wolf cover.

The album's dark tone and frontman Jim Morrison's sexual charisma and wild lifestyle influenced much of rock and roll to come.
