I grew up listening to The Doors. I thought for the longest time that they were the greatest band ever...I was young. I do like them..a lot and I do recommend that everyone should at least give them a shot...and dont write them off because people think they are "overrated". And the movie with Meg Ryan and Val Kilmer was a great great movie. Check it out.

Days of the New has an awesome feel to their music..its nothing spectacular but its good..its post grunge but entirely underated.

The Doors are great for sure, I think most people I know had some sort of Doors phase.

Not the greatest band ever, but certainly one of the best. Their music was unique and ground-breaking.

Too bad Morrison crashed and burned. If he had lived, I believe the Doors probably would've had a few more good years. Unfortunately, without him, they just weren't the Doors.

I like The Doors a lot. So many songs that were really good. Such a pity Morrison died so young :(

BUMPPP

<3 Morrison's voice.

The Doors appreciation thread.
 

Band dosen't get enough love here, apparrently because drug use is uncool or something.

I thought this was a damn ROCK forum.

Ugh... The Doors? They were ok for a week then i was done with that. Deleted all but 3 songs from my iPod. I only keep around Rider's On the Storm, People are Strange, and the Alabama song... Not that great of a band. Much better out there.

For a while when I was a teen, they were my absolute favorite band and pretty much the only thing I listened to. I got into them via my sister who was obsessed. My favorite album is L.A. Woman (the intro to that song is one of the best, ever?), my least favorite was The soft parade (I really wasn't digging the orchestral experimentation).

I was also rather obsessed with Peace frog for a while, probably the most danceable song they ever did? I forget, it's been a while...

Jim Morrison died at age 27...same as Kurt Cobain, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Brian Jones. Which I find is a pretty strange coincidence.

the '27 Club'?
I've had the first Doors album forever and I can't listen to it anymore, total overkill... Except 'the Crystal Ship'. Should I get another one?
also lol@ Ethan's post at the beginning of this thread from 2004, so sweet
