Riders On The Storm - The Doors (1971)

[1970-1974 Best Songs]

Billboard Top 100, 1971, #99 The Doors - L.A. Woman (40th Anniversary Mixes) - Riders On the Storm

It's unacceptable to listen to Riders On The Storm in dry weather. It has to be raining - no excuses.

And nighttime. Or at least dusk.

I like to play it while I'm driving. The sound of the rain hitting outside the car mingles with the rainy sound effect in the song, plus the piano and bass-lines, creating something of a super-stereo effect.

I know it's a cliche; I don't care. The Doors bring music and nature like lovers reunited.

(Okay I know - cheesy - sorry. Best I could think of. You try writing a hundred of these!)
