The Doors is the debut
album by
American rock band The Doors, recorded in
August 1966 and released in
January 1967. It was originally released in different stereo and mono mixes, and features the breakthrough single "
Light My Fire", with three different music videos, extended with an instrumental section mostly omitted on the single release, and the lengthy song "
The End" with its
Oedipal spoken word section. The Doors credit the success of the album to being able to work the songs out night after night at the
Whisky a Go Go and the
London Fog. The album has become one of the most influential albums in the progression of psychedelic rock, and remains one of the most prolific and popular albums in all of popular music. The Doors was ranked #42 on
Rolling Stone magazine's list of the
500 Greatest Albums of All
Time. It has sold over 16
.5 million copies worldwide.

The running time of "Light My Fire", while listed correctly above, is incorrectly stated as 6:30 or 6:50 on some LP and CD versions of the album. An edited version was issued as the Doors' second single in May 1967, with most of its organ and guitar solos removed it had a running time of 2:52. As per the aforementioned speed discrepancy, the 40th anniversary speed-corrected mix made "Light My Fire" 6:59, with all solos intact.
