The Doors vs. Pink Floyd

The Doors for me, although its pretty close.

I think the fact that Floyd has Gilmour ends the comparison right there. Albums like Wish You Were Here, DSOTM, Division Bell, all brilliant, although Division Bell is my favourite.
I tried Doors, but I can't seem to get into their music, I dislike it thoroughly.

Definetly Floyd.. Over 200 million albums sold world wide.. The psychidelic nature of theirmusic is what makes it so unique. They also have the album art work..

I really like or love both bands... But I don't need to think about it too long... Pink Floyd!

Doors.

Pink Floyd easily. They were better at writing pop music and experimental music than The Doors, were more eclectic than the The Doors, and released several perfect albums unlike The Doors who released none.

Absolutely spot on although The Doors did create some great tracks that are amongst my favourites to this day.

The vid is obviously not the original but this version is stunning:

i kinda feel like pink floyd and the doors were both trying to accomplish something different. as far as which band i like better i would go with pink floyd...but i never considered them similar in any sort of way. sometimes i'm in a pink floyd mood sometimes i'm in a doors mood...
