Tough to pick a single one, The End, Soft Parade and Roadhouse Blues are all there though.

The End which is in the Apocalypse Now intro is the only one I've heard, so that one.
Probably L.A Woman.

I'm pretty sure Lizard King had a few threads knocking about on the Doors
Ray Manzarek has died 
Yep. RIP
Sad news indeed, RIP
The Doors are fecking awful.
One of the best bands of that era - Morrison was fantastic.
He was a great showman, I'll grant that. But The Doors and Janis Joplin are two rock and roll legends that I don't understand how they got their place.
Spaz.
Roadhouse Blues, cos' me and my group used to play that on stage, sweet memories.
Correction: most of the other songs are good, Jim rules!

Is there a list somewhere of any Doors songs that aren't on the studio albums?
John Densmore is doing an AMA - http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1yhfy0/i_am_john_densmore_drummer_for_the_doors_ama/

Let's all say our favorite Doors song. Mine is Light My Fire, because Jim Morrison shuts the feck up for 5 minutes.
I went in to HMV and asked what they had by The Doors. She said a bucket of sand and a fire extinguisher.
But no, i'm with Eboue on this one.

I like most of what I know of Kurt Weill's music, but any version of the Alabama Song sends a shiver down my spine. Break On Through is probably my favourite, such a great opening. And despite funnyman Eboue's post, I think it has some great rock lyrics.
Peace Frog also feels like the perfect 3 minute rock song, not a second's wasted & it's always pushing forward. Such a great body moving intro that doesn't last long enough to outstay its welcome - the solo's not indulgent & actually pushes the song forward again, taken at just the right time & lasting just the right length. The buildup to it is my favourite part of the song. There's even time for a small spoken word bit from Morrison just to piss off anyone who doesn't like him. Then a pause and back into it. Perfection.
The Doors seem to suffer more through revisionism than anyone else (except maybe the Eagles), seemingly all because of some nonsense rep. built around Morrison that has nothing to do with the vast majority of the music. If you like rock music, I don't see what's hard to fathom about the group's popularity (shouldn't need saying but that doesn't mean you have to like them, of course). They had a phenomenal feel for that type of music & backed it up with a lot of short, fun, quirky, songs too.
edit:
Love the Roadhouse Blues outtakes on the Doors of Perception box set, with Densmore really struggling to get the beat.
