Two completely different bands in every sense and beyond comparison, so from that point of view the comparison is pointless. CCR were a classic Californian rock/swamp rock band of the era who were very mainstream and socially accepted as good guys. Whereas the Doors were very much a dark psychedelic/acid rock outfit who instead of singing about love and peace sang about the darker side of things. In fact the only bands similiar to them at the time were probably Velvet Underground, a comparison could be made there and even the proto punk of Iggy Pop and the Stooges could be included just for their sheer impact.
