>Of all creative bands in the history of rock music, the Doors may have been the most creative. Their first album contains only masterpieces and remains virtually unmatched. Jim Morrison may well be the single most important rock frontman. He is the one who defined the rock vocalist as an artist, not just a singer. Ray Manzarek's style at the keyboards was at the vanguard of the fusion of classical, jazz, soul and rock music. The virulence of some of their riffs bridged the blues-rock era and the hard-rock era. Whether it was him, Krieger or Manzarek or all of them, their songs have a unique quality that has never been repeated. They are metaphysical while being psychological and while being physical (eroticand violent). They are the closest thing rock music has produced to William ShakespeareAre you going to eat chicken today in memory of the GOAT?
>>130813206John Morrison is still alive tho
*molested by father's navy buddies*
>>130813206>the Doorsare they the guys that made the kryptonite song?
>>130813206It wasn't my initial plan, but sure, I could eat more chicken than any man ever seen today
>>130813206I really like listening to them but I hate the hippie lyrics. Anyone else?
>>130814316Nah I hate it too, sounds like an actual child writing poems. Yeah sure I get the time context and it’s not even a big offender compared to like actual freak out hippie drivel nonsense but it just spoils the music enough for me to not get into it
Quite possibly the most overhyped dadrock band of them all. I don't mind a few of their songs but the people acting like Morrison is some transcendent genius of a poet are ridiculous
>>130813206died of a broken heart being away from his beloved USA on the Fourth. RIP patriotic Jimbo.
>>130814634He had extreme cholesterol from eating all that fried chicken, on July the 3rd he really overdosed on chicken and got a heart attack because his body couldn't handle the sheer fat.
>>130814651like I said, he was ultimate American.
>>130814710Not mutted enough, he was pure Scotch-Irish with some English blood
>>130814651thats based
>>130813206Ray Manzarek was the reason behind the Doors' success
worst lyricist of any major rock band. just awful rhymes and mediocre “poetry.” So bad, it makes intelligent listeners stop and laugh; triggering stoned dudes who think it’s “deep.” Can’t think of any other lyricist that so consistently detracts from the music.
The west is the best
>>130816464Were that true they wouldn't have sucked after Jim died.
>>130814651It should have been me
