smh The Doors were important & innovative—blending blues, jazz, and classical into rock & roll. Ray Manzarek’s was classically trained. Mediocre‽ really

I stand by this judgement. I used to appreciate them, but a song came on today and my immediate thought was “this song writing is kind of flat and the playing is kinda uninspired - but Jim’s vocals are good even though his lyrics are kinda high school-y” The song was Light My Fire

Kreiger wrote most of the lyrics to that one iirc. Iconic keyboard riff from Ray. Historic live performance on Sullivan. Important tune. You having a bad day? Anything you want to talk about? Feel free to dc. 😜

*BUT* the studio version of Riders on the Storm is still great and Peace Frog is a banger.

I dunno. They just feel kinda boring to me now. I’ve left their reality distortion field.
