The greatest band ever. Formed by Jim Morrison and ray Manzarek at a night on the beach after Jim read some of his poems to Ray. Jim Morrison was one of the first rock n roll "crooners" and wrote some of the darkest, deepest songs ever (see the End, Celebration of the Lizard, An American Prayer etc) Indirectly started punk rock, the Stooges and the MC5 started themselves after being mezmerized at a DOors concert. Started in 1965, released their first album in 67, Jim Morrison died in 71 but the band carried on with Ray on vocals and they released one shitty album, Other Voices, broke up in 73 and a new band called the 21 century Doors is touring with two of the original members (ray and Robby Krieger)and Ian Astbury on lead vocals. People say the never had a bassist, but they had SESSION BASSISTS for recording the albums.
Jim "I have poems Ray, listen......."
Ray: "Those are great, lets start a band"
Jim: (drops acid) "FUCKING SLAVE!!!"

The greatest band ever. If Jim Morrison isnt the most poetic person who ever lives, god knows who is. And if you dont understand and just say that all of their songs are druggish jibberish, google the lyrics and read them over and over, that doesnt work, see hot karl.
"Jim Morrison's poetry is a bunch of druggish jibberish"
"GIT ON YO KNEES BOY, I SHOW U POETRY THE MAN WAY!!!"

one of the most influential and kik ass rock bands of the 60's whose music still lives on today. led by jim morrison not only an artist but an amazing poet whos poetry aims to make its readers think outside the box to "break through to the other side" cross into the uknown. breaking free of the image you have made of yourself. "I like ideas about breaking away or overthrowing of established order."

The Doors kill only to clear the way for rebirth; they hint at the eternal rhythmic balance of life and death.
Four Doors: John Densmore, drums. Ray Manzarek, organ. Robby Kreiger, guitar. And of course, Jim Morrison.

The Doors kill only to clear the way for rebirth; they hint at the eternal rhythmic balance of life and death. Four Doors: John Densmore, drums. Ray Manzarek, organ. Robby Kreiger, guitar. And of course, Jim Morrison. Morrison becomes intoxicated by the danger of his poetry, and, sexual in an almost psychopathic way. His richly textured voice taunts and teases and threatens and throbs. With incredible vocal control and the theatrical projection of a Shakespearean star, he plays with the audiences emotions. The Doors embodied the zeitgeist, with all of its spiritual awareness, and liberating transcendence of obsolete cultural values, but embodied it with a potency concentration and theatrical vehemence that was totally unexpected. They flaunted rather than soft-pedaled the threat that the new culture presented to the old culture, and both cultures were left rather reeling by the experience. Today, the majority of American icons are too busy riding to the hounds of commerce or favour, rather then riding the wave of uncompromising, primal, poetic energy that The Doors offered. When the Doors performed it was a religious experience between them and the audience. They were able to move people to a kind of emotional orgasm through the medium of words and music.

A great rock band from the late '60s and early '70s which featured the late Jim Morrison on lead vocals. The Doors had many great songs such as "Light My Fire", "Riders On The Storm", "LA Woman", and many others.
