Waiting for the Sun

Waiting for the Sun is The Doors' third album. It was released in 1968 and became the band's first number one album and spawned their second number one single "Hello, I Love You". With the exception of two songs, the material for this album was written after the band's initial songs from the formation of the group had been recorded for their debut and second album, Strange Days". The highlight of this album was supposed to be the lengthy theatric piece "Celebration of the Lizard", but in the end only the "Not to Touch the Earth" section was used. Critics have argued that the Doors suffered from "the third album syndrome," meaning that by the time they had to make this album, their creativity was very limited. The track "Celebration of the Lizard" was intended to take up an entire album side, but the group was never able to get it right (they would revisit it later in its full-length form on their 1970 album Absolutely Live).Many fans have suggested once "Celebration of the Lizard"... full article at wikipedia
