Paul Rothchild apparently hates L.A. Woman - he loves 'Riders' and the title song, but he said the rest of the album is total garbage. This interview with Rothchild is very insightful:

I love L.A. Woman (album) - 'Cars Hiss By My Window', 'The WASP', and definitely the two you mentioned. What a great trip that album.

Thanks for posting that clip. Damn, I wonder what it was like for them to perform without Jim so soon after he passed.

Strange Days is full of so many moments of instrumental/vocal/lyrical genius that I disregard the dour mood of the album. It is pretty depressing, but easily overlooked by me.

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.

Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Everyone has an opinion.  LA Woman is the only  Doors LP that Rothchild didn't produce so there ya go.  I think all the albums have their merits, but I am partial to the more rootsy ones -- LA Woman and especially Morrison Hotel.  Interestingly that record gets the short shrift -- Bruce Botnick is amazingly dismissive of it in the reissue's liner notes, particularly in how it relates to LA Woman -- which HE produced.

Rotchchild walked out as soon as they started...no wonder he didn't like it considering its success. He was a weird guy anywayz...
