III and Houses of the Holy particularly.

The Doors never did it for me. The lyrics were mostly drunken ramblings and the musicianship was nothing particularly special IMO. Mrs. MarleyJag is fond of them though.

The Doors were musically tight, but Morrison, geez.  That band was wasted (literally) on him.

My college roomy was a huge Floyd fan, popped in Live at Pompeii video one night, and I was hooked. Now, they're one of my favorites.

I've said that pop culture thing soured me on a few things - another being Monty Python. When you mention to someone you're a Python fan, the usual response is "Ni!" right? No, I'm talking about the person who can complete the dialog:

"There's a dead vicar on the landing."
"What's his diocese?"
"How should I know?"

I'm a lumberjack and I'm ok
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, i go to the lavatrine

And nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition
