if multi-tasking is your criteria for talent then consider the late Natasha Schneider from Eleven (and a boatload of session work including Chris Cornell and QOTSA). in Eleven she would play bass guitar with one hand, keyboards with the other, and sing with an operatic voice.

If I could count the times you try to discredit Ray Manzerk's playing. He's one of the best rock keyboardists ever, and not because of his playing bass parts either. Though you're foolish to deny that being a lead keyboardist while simultaneously playing the sole bass parts for a band that doesn't have the aid of a real bass player (at least not until later albums) requires some skill. I'm not saying it makes him a virtuoso, but you're taking your Doors hate to great extremes if you refuse to even accept them as talented musicians.
Can you do better? I want proof.
