Would you kill Ray Manzarek to see them?

That's counterproductive. Well. Damn. Ahah.

Maybe this belongs under the 'Unpopular Opinions' thread, but I think the Doors are incredibly underrated. Between the Beatles, Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones producing their best music, as some incredible individual talents that emerged during the psychedelic era such as Jimi and Janis. Safe to say they were pushed in the background, even with Jim Morrison.

Speaking of Mojo... as much of an enigma as he is, he really takes some credit away from the rest of the band, who were very talented in their own right.

Even though the Doors do get a lot of credit, I still think they are underrated. Their music brought something to their era that a lot of others didn't. Mysterious, dark, cerebral sound. Truly one of the best to ever do it.

they're just alright

mostly fantastic singles, the debut's overrated

i just recently got The Soft Parade and Morrison Hotel but haven't spun them yet, so the jury's still out, I supose

Just alright!!! they`re the best band that ever existed. I know thats a very narrow minded and biased opinion of mine, but its correct:finger:

Their debut along with the Led Zep debut are the best two debuts in the history of rock.


....also Jim Morrison was the best lead singer rock has ever seen.

Jeez I should stop there but I could easily go on.

well they didnt write the alabama song, so dont blame them for that. its not the greatest, but its not that bad. The Doors are great, they were so ahead of their time, so unique. Robbie Krieger is a very underrated guitarist, hes got a unique style. He originally was a spanish flamenco player, and when The Doors formed, he had only been playing electric guitar for 6 months. Combine his spanish fingerpicking style with an electric guitar and a slide, plus the uniqueness of ray manzerak and jim morrison, that makes for a very unique sound. The Doors are so much better than zeppelin, so much more original. Zeppelins debut? That would be one of the most plagiarized albums in history. All but 2 of those songs were very heavily copied from other songs. The song babe im gonna leave you was plagairized word for word. But thats for another thread.

P.s.

Im going to see ray manzerak and robbie krieger in concert next month. I cant wait!

Anybody can plagairize, but few can plagairize well.

my esteem for them has risen greatly since i heard Waiting for the Sun and Strange Days

If you love those two albums, you really should listen to the debut again and as I`ve always said before one of the greatest debuts in the history of rock. The song "The End" is without doubt one of the greatest rock songs ever written and was used to startling effect in Apocolypse Now.
