#285 - Strange Days by The Doors (1967)
How The Doors helped make 1967 the Strangest year in rock history.
In this episode of Album Archives, we step into the eerie, poetic world of Strange Days — the 1967 masterpiece that cemented The Doors’ reputation as the haunted prophets of psychedelic rock. Building on the success of their debut, Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore delivered an album steeped in surreal imagery, haunting melodies, and studio experimentation that was ahead of its time. From “People Are Strange” and “Love Me Two Times” to the sprawling finale “When the Music’s Over,” Strange Days captures both the beauty and menace of the late ’60s counterculture. Join host Steve Epley as we explore the visionary sound and lasting influence of this iconic album that continues to mesmerize listeners nearly six decades later.
