    *******************
    The Doors channel is the official UA-cam home of classic Doors live performances, The Doors albums, and contemporary performances and content honoring The Doors featuring John Densmore and Robby Krieger.
    With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.
    The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger - a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

    Don't want to take away credit from Jim Morrison, he was a genius of his time, but the Doors just wouldn't be the Doors without Manzarek's masterful key playing. His playing makes this and the rest of their music instantly recognizable.

      I was saying something similar to some co-workers a few years back, but took it a bit further. I said that The Doors were one of those few bands that were a real band, that if you took out any member and replaced them with somebody else that it would be a completely different band.

      Yes, it's a strange thing being a loner from Florida with a naval dad who never understood you so you move to sunny LA and do more acid while discovering film at UCLA and meeting your greatest friend who just happened to be this great, nerdy musician named Ray who carried you and your reputation even after you checked out.

      That must have been a magical feeling! I met John Densmore in the mid 90s when he played a solo drum show at my college campus, University of South Dakota of all places! I wrote for the college newspaper at the time and was invited to the after-show mixer where only about 20 people were there. I walked right up to John, shook his hand and proceeded to tell him about a play I was writing in my creative writing class inspired by the Doors music. John smiled and then said, "If you make it to Broadway, call me up!" Still to this day I am amazed at my luck that day meeting him. Years later I was also able to see the Doors play in concert with Ian Astbury, which was phenomenal. The Doors played for about 2 1/2 hours and the band let people get up on the stage and dance. Very fun memorable experience.

    This band is so far ahead of their time that I sometimes think these guys were time travelers who cut straight from the future to the 60s and decided to form The Doors, so they made a deal like "let's try to play to their rhythm to don't scare them."

      @The King in Yellow I think he died of liver disease or at the very least, liver failure. Let's not forget that Robby stated that Jim got sick & was coughing up blood before he left for Paris. Also, he took a bad fall one night & that is when he started coughing up blood. So with how much alcohol that Jim drank a day, taking a bad fall one night, & coughing up blood up until his death, I'm not saying that the picture is crystal clear. But I think I'm starting to get a somewhat better view.

    Takes me back to when I was sixteen and in love for the first time -- parking out in the country -- and this was playing on the radio. Magic.

    Most bands have one genius and a bunch of people who can take instructions and play an instrument.
    Every now and again you get an entire band who are brilliant at their particular thing.
    The doors are one of those bands.

      The Doors all good at each position?!..Not even close to the all around talent of the mighty Led Zeppelin!
      I turned 74 in January and NOBODY comes close to the Zep!..

      @@twilightzone7600 I agree.
      Zeppelin are probably my favourite band of all time.

      The Moody Blues is another one of the genius bands you described.
