well, why don't you expand on it because i'd like to know. I want to get to what people's reasoning here.
''As for the marketing tripe, you are assuming too much''
It's a genre name that doesn't tell us abt the diversity within that...what's so wrong about this?
''About that rock verses rap thread... yeah, sorry about that. I thought it was quite funny though.''
I thought it was kind of misinformed and kinda 'funny'.

I'm not even going to bother to explain why, because I'm feeling lazy and there's no point; today's doofus hipsters have already made their Jim hatred well known.
Agree 100% with John B. as to which records are best. Funny the way their career arced like that.

"This record is many things - raw, fun, bluesy, varied - but it's not circusy, it's not weird, and poop it, it's not idiosyncratic! Any band could have made this album! Well, any band with a godlike singer."
Krieger was kind of standard b-level 60s/70s blues rock
Oh, for christ sake. Yeah, he wasn't Jeff Beck. Dude wrote "Light My Fire" - first song he ever wrote!!!

Listening to the new Doors Live in Boston 1970 triple CD. Morrison keeps it together pretty good for a drunk guy. (Liner notes say that his first move at soundcheck was trying to chop into the stage with the mic stand.)

Classic.
Mediocre poetry, but GREAT theatre.

And his solo on "When the Music's Over" is mind numbing and totally psychedelic.

Light My Fire is kind of a dumb song, honestly - if you've ever heard anyone else sing it, it really comes through.

dud. i mean sure, morrison's buffoonery is a well-worn subject, but i'd be able to dig it if he had even just a half-decent band behind him. specifically, john densmore sounds like he's desultorily checking his watch, like he'd much rather be doing something else.
one of the best favors the Who ever did for anyone was when they "accidentally" destroyed some of the doors' gear opening for them at a 1968 show.

Mae West's version is classic. So is Al Green's.
