The Doors were noted for their liberal politics on war, drugs and sex. Their eponymous debut album was released in 1966 and became a success mostly because of the number 1 single "Light My Fire".

The original lineup recorded six studio albums between 1966 and 1971: The Doors, Strange Days, Waiting for the Sun, The Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel, and L.A. Woman.

In spite of this, they would release three more studio albums: Other Voices (1971), Full Circle (1972) and American Prayer (1978). The latter was recorded over old recordings of Morrison reading poetry. While the band officially disbanded in 1973, Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger continue to perform as the duo Manzarek-Krieger.
