Why do we like this?

Released as a single on The Doors' eponymous debut album, this is one of the songs that helped to cement their legendary reputation and became a staple at their gigs down the years.

"Break On Through (To The Other Side)" has definite influences outside The Doors traditional rock stable, creating a jazzy feel through use of ideas taken from all over, including the then-brand new Bossa Nova craze coming out of Brazil.

The sing-along chorus have made this song last, and it was introduced to a new audience when it was featured in the Tony Hawk series of games.
