Waiting for the Sun is The Doors' third studio album. It was released in 1968 and became the band's first and only number one album and spawned their second US number one single, 'Hello, I Love You.' It also became the band's first hit album in the UK, where it peaked at #16 in the chart. 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 album and second album, Strange Days. The highlight of this album was supposed to be the lengthy theatrical piece 'Celebration of the Lizard', but in the end only the 'Not to Touch the Earth' section was used. The song 'Waiting for the Sun' would not appear on an album until Morrison Hotel.Tracklisting:Side oneHello, I Love You - 2:14 Love Street - 2:53 Not to Touch the Earth - 3:56 Summer's Almost Gone - 3:22 Wintertime Love - 1:54 The Unknown Soldier - 3:25 Side twoSpanish Caravan - 3:03 My Wild Love - 3:01 We Could Be So Good Together - 2:26 Yes, the River Knows - 2:36 Five to One - 4:26

It's no accident that The Eagles Greatest Hits might one day pass Michael Jackson's Thriller as the best-selling album of all time-- the Eagles made great singles. By contrast, their albums could be spotty and strained by self-conscious artistry. Hotel California was arguably the band's best single album--it was certainly the Eagles' biggest original disc-- and it also underscored the band's need to make a big statement. The title tune reflected the album's theme of paradise lost in California, painting this picture with a musical arrangement that punctuated strumming guitars with dramatic drums, and perhaps the band's most famous lyric: "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave." "New Kid in Town" was an equally fine albeit much more traditional Eagles ballad. "Life in the Fast Lane" aspired to hard rock but largely gunned its engine without taking off. The rest is okay, but nothing more than secondary Eagles songs that happened to be nestled into the album that came to define the `70s supergroup. --John Milward
