I think they're overrated as all ****, but ****.... catchy tunes that I enjoy listening to. And that's all music should really boil down to.

I agree with you about "The End".

But...."a true poet"???? In what way, exactly?

He strings groups of words together in unique and meaningful ways?

Guess they're among the best white Rock musicians ever. Though, nothing compared to old school african-american rockers such as Chuck Berry

A few really good songs. A vibe that was pretty groundbreaking at the time. Jim Morrison was a total *******. He ruined himself and his band.

Way too bad in hindsight.

...and that's exactly what made the Doors something special.

Well, based on my avatar and signature, this should be obvious. I think they're among the greatest of their era. Morrison was an incredible vocalist and songwriter, Manzarek was a wizard on the keys, and Densmore and Krieger were talented and innovative instrumetalists. Their debut easily pulls its weight with the classics.
