This entry to this journal's music/ arts honour roll society goes to The Doors (wikipedia) out of LA. This crew dont need much introduction, they are considered as one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time. The Doors are one of those groups that are just distinctively "Doors", and despite only as this original crew from 1965 to 1973, and the millions of records that they sold global, they are just as popular today as they were then, and still a big seller in music. They were also the first American group to get 8 consecutive gold and platinum albums. To me, The Doors just have one of those unique trademark sounds, I see as a genre of its own. Jim Morrison was so good at putting his poetry to music and an intense passionate vocalist/ front man and songwriter for this crew ... I alwayz loved Jim's vocal work and lyrics ... and that distinct keyboards sound from Ray Manzarek hits the spot for me. The rock music scene back then was so new, and not as contaminated by corporate stronghold, like it is today ... today you have to DIY label and be independent to escape it ... back then, the fans had more control as well as the bands. So much was less restrictive, and crews had more liberty and flexibility to do things more their way, and be experimental ... regardless of how controversial it was, way more raw and fresh ... and still be able to get on a decent label. To me, no one identifies as well in sound and spirit with that late 1960's, early 1970's LA music scene as The Doors do ... from Venice Beach, to Whiskey a Go Go and the Sunset Strip, to the Hollywood Bowl ... their sound is it, it is a cornerstone of the LA music scene of the time! More on this crew, if you need, in the links. I selected some songs/ vidz below, out of so many that I reviewed, and these are some of their most well known songs as well. Thank You much to all these guyz, on what they have contributed to music ... Enjoy!
