I. Hate. The. Doors.

Just need to get that off my chest from time to time. Back to your lives, citizens.

This was the first song that turned me onto the doors many years ago. It is so loose and bluesy and really rocks. It is the background to much of my youth.

Naw. It was artifice, and they're not too different from someone like Lady Gaga in that she has some musical talent (Manzarek clearly has talent) but the thing that makes the Doors/Gaga "important" is mostly attitude and presentation.

Morrison, if you watch those movies of him performing, is not too far removed from a frat boy bully.

(Now watch, I'm talking about the music and someone - instead of defending the music - is gonna attack me personally.)

The Doors are, and where, essential, cerebral, and much deeper than just their music.

You want existential philosophy and hifalutin' concepts, David Byrne's yer man, I'm sure. Most male rock stars, it seems, are pretty puerile/juvenile, so you can't expect them to be contenders for the Nobel Prize for Literature, and with a basic blues song like this, the lyrics are bound to be pretty down 'n' dirty. Just get with the beat and ignore the words.

That distinction has to go to Rush, followed closely by Kiss.

Come on now they already have defective hearing but we should give their kids a chance - it might skip a generation

Wow! While I'll agree he wasn't the poet he thought he was, it's a stretch to say most of their work sucks.

If it were true to the Blues spirit, it would be "I woke up this morning and found the beer crate empty and my woman gone" :o)

Great segue from Muddy Waters. Vive le Blues! Please let's have some bluesy Stones next. 8 from the foot-stompin' Nottingham jury.
