The Doors

i've been a big doors fan since i first heard them when i was like 12 over my cousins house. before, i never really got their songs or why jim acted the way he did. once i started smoking, i became a huge doors fan. everytime i smoke, i make sure i listen to atleast one doors song. so i was watchin some doors video's today and i came up on some news. i saw one headline that bothered me. it read: "The Doors, among others, on 50 worst bands of all time." this was in Blender Mag.

now, i know with the doors, you either like them or you don't. they can't really be compared to any other music. i mean, lets face it, there will only be one Jim Morrison and there will never be another band like The Doors. reguardless if you like them or not, i don't think that you can put The Doors on any worst band list. the doors have done more in their short career than some bands have done over decades. i mean, the doors are still big today and they haven't had any new songs since the 70's. there are only a few bands in the world that are still big today after not having any new material released in the past 30 years. and to top it off, they compared The Doors to like Vanilla Ice, who was in the top 10. i'm sorry but there is no way that The Doors should ever be on a list with Vanilla Ice. The Doors were rated number 37 on that list.


sorry for the thread but this made me mad. feel free to post your comments about this if you want.

 

I think that the idea of "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" applies pretty well to this. Of course, you think that some other bands should be worse, and some should be better. Others can completely be vise-versa.

 

However you choose to look at it, The Doors are one of the greatest bands in the history of music. Blender Magazine sucks dick.

 

obviously they do "the beatles" poorly...i mean with the beatles either u do or dont like their music, and luckily for them most people do. the doors are so unique that either u do or dont like their music, and now that the age of psychadellic drugs is over, most people go in the "no thanks" column.

of course us druggies love them cause we get them.

 

got that right.

 

I used to be into the doors, now their music bores me to death...
sure they were good and original etc etc but cmon, in my opinion there are plenty of other bands 10000 times better, not so hyped but good nonetheless.

 

"The End" is the best smoking/tripping song ever made, IMO.

 

And cuz Jim is so damn trippy. I really dont think anyone can say that the doors sucked and had no influence. The sixties wouldnt be the sixties without em. Riders on the Storm is the best stoned song ever.

sorry im new to this i was trying to like quote from somone elses.. anyway
word^^^

 

I definately agree they should not even be close to the worst bands ever

 

I agree.

 

although i am not a doors fan at all, i appreciate there music. I cannot believe they are on the 50 worst band!!! think of how many shitty bands there are!!! limp bizkit?? alien ant farm??

 

This just goes to show that Blender is a piece of shit. This isn't the first time they've fucked up either, but I can't think of any examples so I'm just going to stop typing

 

Spanish Caravan and The Soft Parade give it a run for its money (tripping wise).

Smoking songs... Light my Fire, Riders on the Storm, Love Street, LA Woman. The keyboard solos are... amazing. The flow and dynamics of them are spectacular. Fuck me with a chainsaw, I"M HIGH!

 

i'd say just about any doors song is good to smoke too.

 

I like to get fucked up listening to "The Crystal Ship". That shit is as trippy as a fucking trip wire.

 

all i have to say is welcom the the fuckin 21st centry... the taste in music this decade sux ass....wat can u expect from a mainstream mag....i mean people listen to other people screaming for "music".......im a doors fan i love their stuff and they dnt diserve to b were they were placed

 

forgot their 21 century reincarnation... try better Iron Butterfly 4 first records ...just to change...it's musically the brothers of the doors

 

i think if you want to understand the doors music you have to read the lyrics and picture in your mind what Jim was thinking at that point in time. iv read multiple biographies and books written by his girlfriends, magazine articles and whathaveyou. if you read those you'll be able to understand what he was thinking and what he was like, he was a madman that was just who he was onstage, he wanted to be a poet not a rockstar.

but yeah the doors kickass

 

"The band you love to hate"

Really dont care what magazines say. People write stuff, people say stuff. Bleh.
