The Doors

In the 1960s and 1970s, The Doors led masses of souls on a musical odyssey with its firey blend of blues, psychedelia, rock and roll and poetry. Led by enigmatic legend Jim Morrison, the group defied popular music standards with its manic, unpredictable live performances, which introduced free-form poetry jams into a live rock show setting. From its iconic 1967 self-titled debut album to its 1971 classic L.A. Woman, The Doors released a succession of now iconic records that are heralded as classic works of rock and roll, particularly for Morrison's rich lyrical stylings and Ray Manzarek's proficiency playing both the bass and keyboard parts simultaneously on keyboard organ.
