the doors were innovators and their influence on other musicians is incalcuable (sp?) but then at least 1/3 of their output was complete crap.
too many great bands in this world that didn't release total crap to put the doors so high on a pedestal.

When I was a kid I really dug that record “Illusions on a Double Dimple” by Triumvirat. Listened to it recently online and it almost held up. I know. Random….

I don't quite agree. None of the doors' Studio work is dispensable to my thinking. Live ...the full complete range from Invocation to sad drunk. But everybody knows all this.

Postmortem low point, and I think Morrison's part was added after the fact, but don't quote me. It's an awful record either way.

Yes Cave. There's doors DNA in there whether he likes it or not. Everybody cops from Ig owes the doors. It's just not kewl to say so. & for some good reasons, okay - like a certain %age of the doors fandom ...nevertheless. Too many don't make - say - as far as the Stooges or Velvets. (Oh yeah ...Velvets ...not a bad USA band either...) But ...that's not *my* problem...

Caught up, thanks Dave.
Those Back Door albums are very good.
Sadly, rarely played on FMU.
Back in the day, they had a residency at the highest pub in England. I visited it once to get the vibe and, man, is it remote.
