Does this look like a music publication you should take seriously?

And what really pisses is that on July 3 no one Mentioned him.. No One!! The radio station here played "Light My Fire" and talked about how much his house is going for... Who cares??? It was his Death anniversary..

Not liking the Door seems almost in-human. But that's coming from a Doors fan. I guess I can see why some people wouldn't like them, but guys like the ones at Blender don't really have jusifiable reasons for not liking them.

I`m a big Doors fan and we are in the minority on here.

I guess their fanbase has thinned out since the 80's("He's hot, he's sexy and he's dead", anyone?). I really thought that they'd have some decently sized following here(that's not based on anything though). @_@

For me personally, I like the Doors more for the influence they have had on the music scene in the last 30 years or so, especially the last couple of decades, more so than actually liking their music as one of my personal favorite rock bands.
Not only musically, but also the outlaw personality that Jim Morrison has had on other frontmen through the years, not only in attitude (stage presence) but as a lyricist also.
Here is a single that shows just one example of influence by the Doors, YouTube - Hurt - Rapture
So I personally respect the Doors/Morrison more for their influence on rock music, especially since 1990, more so than to say that they have 'great rock songs' or albums.
Of course thats just my opinion.

they aren't quite a favorite of mine, but they do have some good songs. the lyrics do little for me to be honest(as is often the case for me for all music). props to the organs in their music.

I love every musician in The Doors, but I find Krieger to be an especially underrated guitarist.

Peace Frog is the only example you need for his awesomeness.
