Doors

"I am the Lounge-Lizard King... I wil drink ANYTHING!!!" I'm what I like to call a recovered Doors fan. Late in high school through my early 20s, I thought the Doors were great because they were dark, mysterious, Morrison was cool, blah blah blah... Now that I'm a little older, I've come to realize how lame they really were. It blows my mind that anyone close to or over the age of 30 still buys into this. They sound like lounge music!! Morrison was a pretentious creep who had ZERO respect for his audience who made him rich and famous. His lyrics and poetry were a bunch of nonsensical crap. His fans today say "he was a genius, and if you dont get it then you just don't understand!!" Face it, the guy was fu**ed out of his skull, and didn't know what the hell he was talking about. As far as the band goes, they stunk!! They had a few decent tunes like "Break On Through," but the group couldn't give that song the rocking treatment it needed to be effective. I mean... an organ solo??? In a song that's supposed to rock?!? Whatever. The song would have been far better in the hands of a more capable group. Their version of "Back Door Man" is probably the single most vomit-inducing abomination ever put to record. The song "The End"? Ugh!!! 10 minutes of pretentious, incomprehensible nonsense. One of my favorite things about them is how they release a new greatest hits or best of set about every two years when Morrison died in 1971. Coming this fall, its "The All-time Greatest Legendary Band-favorite Best-of Anthology of The Doors! Featuring never before released tracks of Jim Morrison belching and snoring into the microphone!" The best career move Morrison made was dying. "The End" of story!!!
