2000 greatest hits album by the Doors
The Best of The Doors is a compilation album by the Doors released in 2000, and is different from the albums of the same name released in 1973 and 1985 . All three albums feature a slightly different track listing and a different photograph of the band's late singer Jim Morrison as cover art. Unlike its eponymous predecessors, the 2000 release includes both "Break On Through (To the Other Side) " and "The End " in their uncensored form.
Track listing
All songs written by The Doors (John Densmore , Robby Krieger , Ray Manzarek , and Jim Morrison), except where noted.
