I've been a fan of the Doors since I first heard them on AM radio, back in 1967. (When AM radio was the place to hear the best rock music.)
I still listen to them after all these years and I still love 'em!
I've always loved Jim Morrison's vocals, although his some of his stage antics always seemed a bit juvenile to me, and I find his poetry to range from good to bad. (Although it all seems to make sense under the influence of psychedelic enhancements.)

Robby Krieger gets recognized for his guitar playing, but he never seems to get enough recognition for his songwriting with the band.
I always thought John Densmore was an interesting drummer, and Ray Manzarek has one of the most recognizable keyboard playing techniques in music.
I just saw Ray & Robby on their recent tour and they still sound great!
Dave Brock did a fine job on vocals and the drumming of Ty Dennis and bass playing from Phil Chen rounded out the rhythm section quite impressively.
I'm still hoping John Densmore will get back behind the drum kit with Ray & Robby someday, (soon, I hope!) and tour with them again.
