EPISODE SUMMARY:
Is it better to have a long and prolific career or a short and dynamic one? Fans of acid rocker The Doors would likely argue the latter, as the band only ever released six albums with iconic lead singer Jim Morrison. 1971's L.A. Woman may be some of the final songs Jim ever recorded before his untimely death, and the album's effect as the punctuation on an end of an era is magnificent. Actor and comedian David Koechner, known for his much beloved roles in Anchorman film franchise and the TV show The Office, says this would be his choice if he could only listen to one of the group's records for the rest of his life.
