In particular, several music historians have called them influential in the development of both progressive rock and even gothic rock. More than most bands, The Doors continue to be iconic, often due to their close association with the rebellious counterculture movements of the late 1960s. And, as good as each member of the band was at what they did, the ghost of Morrison still overshadows the band. He was and even today is a larger than life figure who represents both youth disillusionment and the stereotypical rock frontman. The most important part of his legacy was his determination to do things and see things differently than anyone else. And The Doors were his vehicle to do that. It’s easy to fall for saying that there is no The Doors without Jim Morrison, but I think it’s more accurate to say there is no Jim Morrison without The Doors. 0:00 Early days 3:50 Self-titled album 5:50 Strange Days 8:33 Waiting for the Sun 12:13 The Soft Parade 13:10 Morrison Hotel 15:50 L.A.

Fun fact: Jim was drunk at a party and talked with Janis Joplin but by the end of the party due to him being very drunk and being a bit of a jerk he had a bottle smashed against his head by her.

I find it fascinating how bands like The Beatles, The Doors, Queen and The Clash all recorded so much stuff in such short periods of time.

The Oliver Stone 1991 Doors film was actually THE SECOND resurgence in the band's popularity. The band had been launched back into public consciousness with the stunning opening sequence of 1979 movie Apocalypse Now, featuring the group's epic track, "The End." Consequently, in October 1980, Elektra Records released The Doors Greatest Hits. Compounded by this greatest hits release as well as the 1980 publication of Morrison biography, "No One Here Gets Out Alive," the Doors were suddenly one of the hottest acts of the year. In 1981, Rolling Stone magazine published a legendary issue of the magazine, featuring Morrison on the cover next to the provocative tag line, "He's hot, he's sexy, and he's dead."

Patti Smith apparently would go into record labels office and swipe food from press events. One time, she did this and found out she wasn’t alone in the room. It was Jim Morrison in the room alone watching her sneak around getting food. He told her “ Get a bunch of the meat pies. They’re delicious”

Morrison Hotel was the first album I heard, on 8track. I never will understand why Blue Sunday is not recognized as one of their greatest songs ever recorded. Even after all these years I hear that song and I hear 4 artist at their best, the same way I feel when I hear the Rover by Zep or Golden Slumbers. I don't know maybe Strange but I have been a huge Doors fan for most my life and have been playing music most of my life. Infact I'm such a huge fan I have already made plans for Blue Sunday to be the only song played at my funeral.
