经过一年多的写作,排练和小型演出,1967年The Doors在Elektra旗下推出了同名专辑,这是摇滚乐历史上最重要的专辑之一,也是不朽的经典作品。专辑中的11首作品几乎都是经典之作,其中以Light my fire,Break On Through和The End最为著名。虽然The Doors经常被归类为迷幻摇滚乐队,但他们和感恩而死或是杰弗逊飞船这类的乐队并不相同,结构精巧的音乐编排和Jim Morrison深刻的如诗歌的词义和阴郁的演唱才是他们的特色,说到迷幻也许是Ray Manzarek大量风琴演奏的加入才带给人们这种印象的。Light My Fire长为7分钟,却有5分钟的吉他与管风琴的独奏,两种乐器此起彼伏,配合得精彩绝伦,Robbie Krieger的吉他具有惊人的结构感,严谨而富有诗意,没有令人眼花缭乱的技巧和无法抵消的,它触动你每一根神经,使你心中犹如烈焰燃烧。当然最引起震撼的还是曾被用做电影现代启示录主题曲的、长达近12分钟的The End。Jim Morrison在这首半吟半唱、半即兴的自由体叙事诗中表现了一个异常恐怖的恶梦,充满了阴暗的意象。一个平静的开始,Jim Morrison唱到“This isthe end,Beautiful friend,This is the end, My only friend, the end ...",正当渐渐被表面现象所迷惑时,突然他喊出了那句最为震惊世人的话“Father, yes son, I want to kill you,Mother...I want to...fuck you ..."The Doors带来的震撼是显而易见的,在各种文化明确分流的六十年代末,大门把深刻的音乐带给了新一代,把最流行的东西传到激进派的思想体系里。有评论家这样说到:“大门以Beatles 和Rollingstone 的终止点为起点,深掘他们的作品,你的心绪将被他们坚实的核心震撼的无以名状。听过大门的歌,你和父母共进晚餐的感觉将不再和过去一样。"
专辑发行后,成为摇滚史上最有名和最优秀的处女作之一。在7月底专辑中歌曲Light my fire上升到美国Billboard榜的第一名,在这首单曲的带动之下,专辑也迅速登上冠军的宝座,最终销售超过100万张。Jim Morrison也凭借着性感的外形和火辣的台风成为无数年轻人的偶像,皮裤成为最时髦的装束。同年10月,乐队推出第二张专辑Strange Days,借着第一张专辑的气势,这张专辑在2周后就上升Billboard榜的第4位,在以后几周内,The Doors的两张专辑都在排行榜的前10位。这张专辑中仍延续了第一张专辑的风格。充满幻想意味的Moonlight Drive以阴沉介绍式的低呤开头,节奏明快的Love Me Two Times,都是The Doors的名曲,最后一首又是长达11分钟的歌曲When the Music`s Over Jim Morrison幽暗地唱到,当音乐结束时,一切都已结束。不再有宏大的舞台,不再有欢呼的人群。不再有诗歌,不再有迈阿密姑娘。不再有凯鲁亚克和金斯伯格,不再有兰波和魏伯伦。不再吸毒,不再酗酒,不再乱交。因为我已进入死亡之门。通过这首歌曲就可以看出对于Jim Morrison来说摇滚代表的就是诗歌,而诗歌却与生命相连。

The Doors的名字取自1954年的春天Aldus Huxley出版的一本名为The doors of perception(知觉之门)的书,这本书名源自于英国诗人Willam blake的一句诗句“当知觉之门被打开,人们就能看清事物的本来面目,无穷无尽”。而这本介绍麻醉剂的书在60年代初LSD盛行的时候红极一时,Jim Morrison再把The doors of perception浓缩为The Doors,寓意通过音乐之门来寻找一切事物的答案。
