100 Essential Albums: #96 — The Doors by The Doors (1967)

“Every time I hear (the song, “The End”), it means something else to me.  It started out as a simple good-bye song.  Probably just to a girl.  But I see how it could be a goodbye to a kind of childhood.  I really don’t know.  I think it’s sufficiently complex and universal in its imagery that it could be almost anything you want it to be.”

— Jim Morrison (an in interview shortly before his death at age 27)
