Alone Again Or by Love on Grooveshark

5. Love - Forever Changes
Recorded in only 64 hours, Love's Forever Changes is the ultimate psychedelic experience in musical form. Orchestrally fragrant, lyrically surreal, instrumentally poignant, the album's youthful beauty is -- similar to any acid trip -- augmented by a buried anxiety and fear of the future. Drug addiction and a lack of commercial success would destroy the band shortly after Forever Changes -- only their second album -- turning Love and their two excellent LP's into a forgotten time capsule, only to be rediscovered by hipsters like Wes Anderson, who featured the song "Alone Again Or" in his debut film, Bottle Rocket.

The Doors seems like an oversight.
