Sometimes, but I don't take the right substances. Love the fact that keys and bass are played by 1 person, not to belittle the others of course.

Hard for me to be objective about them since my parents hated them and yet many of the women who supervised and managed my sexual development previous to my wife were big fans. So I have purchased their Greatest Hits discs many times and yet still current don't own a copy of it.
A band that I don't mind never hearing again and yet have fond non-musical memories of.

I think there are some moments of deranged genius in the Doors. The rest just deranged.

I got a bit annoyed with the doors when everybody around me started worshipping Jim Morrison. Their music has always sounded very dated to me, but there are a few goodies in the bunch. Not sure why they sound dated when I can listen to other older stuff and it doesn't bother me.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

I'm going to suggest they are in my list of Top 10 Over-Rated Bands of all time.

I like the doors sometimes.

Not getting full enjoyment probably has something to do with all the drugs I don’t do. :lol:

Uncultured swines.

I love The Doors. That keyboard player was phenomenal. They were a very progressive band for their day.
