Why are there people on Yea Forums who dislike this?
You don't even have to focus on its artistic or technical value (which is great), but the album is simply FUN to listen to. It has no filler at all. And I never see any arguments against the Doors either, only haters with no arguments
So why? Is it just an elaborate troll or are people really this boring and shit-tastey?

Soibois can't deal with the fact that he ate more chicken then they'll ever see.
I know for a fact that I've seen more chicken than he has eaten. Morrison is full of bullshit.
BASED virgins wont understand
I know I should love this album but I guess hearing it so late made me have no nostalgia for it or anything. It’s probably gotta click but I just find it an alright album. I wouldn’t listen to it but I can see why people like it, not a huge fan of the vocals either
Jim Morrison is quite possibly the cringest person to ever make music.
backdoor man is one of the most badass songs ever. so much energy, so much manhood. goes in harder than most black shouter blues
>And I never see any arguments against the Doors either, only haters with no arguments
see? told ya guys
The musicians behind The Doors were good but the fact remains that Jim Morrison was incredibly self indulgent and masturbatory which ruins the potential of a band that could be great. Only 15 year olds think he's great.
>Of all creative bands in the history of rock music, the Doors may have been the most creative. Their first album contains only masterpieces and remains virtually unmatched. Jim Morrison may well be the single most important rock frontman. He is the one who defined the rock vocalist as an artist, not just a singer. Ray Manzaker's style at the keyboards was at the vanguard of the fusion of classical, jazz, soul and rock music. The virulence of some of their riffs bridged the blues-rock era and the hard-rock era. Whether it was him, Krieger or Manzarek or all of them, their songs have a unique quality that has never been repeated. They are metaphysical while being psychological and while being physical (eroticand violent). They are the closest thing rock music has produced to William Shakespeare.
I agree with him. Do you?
>Jim Morrison was incredibly self indulgent
That's his appeal. The hedonism
maybe the haters of the doors dislike it because they just dislike hedonism. they are probably soi beta insecure virgin boys
maybe once you turn 18 you'll realise why nobody who isn't a meme takes the doors seriously
HES NOT WRONG.
greatest band of the 60s
I prefer psych with some actual edge, Doors is just first psych-band.
My parents both love the Doors. My mom is 45 and my dad is 53.
anons are my parents based?
>I'm literally afraid of masculinity
Have sex, gain height, take a shower, hit the weights, get a clue
hows being 15? it was nice being so clueless that you thought jim morrison was "masculine" and deep lmao
HOLY SHIT its literally right
You dislike the Doors = you are a 100% certified SOIBOI. You are GAY
Im actually 100% unironical here. You gotta be fucking effeminate to dislike the doors
I'll repeat for your little nu-male brain
Have sex, gain height, take a shower, hit the weights, get a clue
Why is it that the Doors haters at first say that they are a group for 15 year olds, but then go on to say that they are dad rock?
are their hates borderline retarded?
Also, as OP said:
>And I never see any arguments against the Doors either, only haters with no arguments
still holds
>Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
>Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
omg so deep! Jim Morrison is a genius!
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
>YOU CAN'T BE MASCULINE!
I'm not saying I dislike the album, but a reason to dislike it is Jim's lyricism. He sings what he's wrote well, but the lyrics themselves are shit.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE DOORS ARE THE MOST PERFECT BAND EVER THEYRE SO DEEP AND MASCULINE YOURE JUST A BASEDBOY!!!!!!
Oh look, the soiboi attempts to switcheroo the opinion of doors haters to make it look like the opposite is true
>George Stephen Morrison (January 7, 1919 – November 17, 2008) was a United States Navy rear admiral (upper half) and naval aviator. Morrison was commander of the U.S. naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident of August 1964, which sparked an escalation of American involvement in the Vietnam War. He was the father of Jim Morrison, the lead singer of the rock band The Doors, who died in July 1971.
>In 1967, in one article in the British paper, The Telegraph, it is unofficially reported by some that Morrison vehemently opposed the US response to, and findings of, the USS Liberty incident which exonerated Israel of malice. Morrison did not rise in rank again after his outspoken criticism of Israeli intentions.
I've yet to see one reason why The Doors are amazing in this thread other than "they're masculine". So what? There's plenty of masculine music that sucks. Are you obligated to like every shit band just because its "masculine"? Do you only listen to dadrock or something? It sounds pretty s oy to care this much about a band being "masculine" over being good.
Morrison was a good beat poet. Some parts are unintelligible but they are that way for a reason. They depict the reality of a man unhinged from reality - they popularize the usage of mind altering substances, and they are the quintessence of beat poetry, capturing true freedom of the spirit. They are not "retarded", they are vague on purpose. Lending themselves to a lot of interpretations, neither of which Morrison said was the one true right interpretation - a staple of true art
Also, you cant judge the lyrics on their own. Its musical poetry, its designed to flow well with the music, in a sort of trance
>Eleven minutes of laments, of mysticism, of collective and rarefied improvisations on resignation. A primordial magma of emotions, of convulsed exorcisms, of confusing plots. Eleven minutes of sulfur and incense: "...this is the end, my only friend, the end...the end of everything that stands..." in a crescendo that grabs and holds. Amidst irregular breathing, slobbered lewd images and blasphemous biblical verses, the ceremony proceeds relentlessly through curses and nightmares. The myth of Oedipus fills every word with horrendous foreboding. The dying soul, lost in a desperate land, staggers without support. The song is insidious and epic at the same time. Morrison's voice is that of the narrator, but also of the protagonist, lacerated by monstrous traumas. The phrasing is the nonsensical sequence of a journey that's lasted too long. The instrumental suspense electrifies every word: "...The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on. He took a face from the ancient gallery, and he walked on down the hall. He went into the room where his sister lived, and then he paid a visit to his brother, and then he walked on down the hall. And he came to a door, and he looked inside, "Father?" "Yes son?" "I want to kill you." "Mother, I want to...". Blinding spotlights point to the site of the tragedy. The psychopathic sweetness of the assassin who relives the torpid fairy tales of the subconscious within the skeletal tapestry of the text now adorned with whispers and screams, love and hate, sounds and silence. By assimilating and consuming it all within his delirium he becomes a giant with enormous tentacles that reach beyond "the real", into the "the eternal" populated by "snakes". The doors of perception unlock, and an angelic vampire agonizing on the edge of the abyss with dilated pupils, proclaims, as time and memory march solemnly: "...the end of nights we tried to die...this is the end!".
I agree with every single word said.
This.
Hippies were demoralization, depopulation social engineering.
>dude its shit on purpose ok so that makes it deep
>dude lmao this is shit not art
>Since the mid-1970s it has been argued by historians that the style attracted the attention, in the early 1950s, of the CIA, who saw it as representative of the US as a haven of free thought and free markets, as well as a challenge to both the socialist realist styles prevalent in communist nations and the dominance of the European art markets.[55] The book by Frances Stonor Saunders,[citation needed] The Cultural Cold War—The CIA and the World of Arts and Letters,[56] (published in the UK as Who Paid the Piper?: CIA and the Cultural Cold War) details how the CIA financed and organized the promotion of American abstract expressionists as part of cultural imperialism via the Congress for Cultural Freedom from 1950 to 1967. Notably Robert Motherwell's series Elegy to the Spanish Republic addressed some of those political issues. Tom Braden, founding chief of the CIA's International Organizations Division (IOD) and ex-executive secretary of the Museum of Modern Art said in an interview, "I think it was the most important division that the agency had, and I think that it played an enormous role in the Cold War."[57]
cool story bro
cool CIA psyop art bro. feces applied to canvas that you would have never heard of were it not useful to the CIA's geopolitical strategy lmao

YEAAAAAHHH!!!! ALRIGHT!!!!
The Doors fucking suck. Only losers who buy into Jim's retarded persona and want to self insert and pretend they are some deep poet badass who fucks lots of women like them. Light My Fire is also the progenitor of a lot of shitty hairmetal and cockrock that came later.
Well:
a) I always hated his oh-so-deep-and-alpha voice.
It's OK when he screams (like in Back Door Man) but I find his "clean" voice is annoying as fuck.
b) That Ray Manzarek organ is obnoxious as hell. I hate it.
(like, it's the 60's man get a fucking Mellotron, you shithead)
c) his whole freshmen-philosophy (oooo Nietzsche, so deep)
But Back Door Man is a cover
no one cares faggot go back to radiohead
lol, I'm not the one you're responding to
but Radiohead are at least 10 levels deeper than the Doors
>nooo i can't self insert and live out my sad fantasies through the frontman so this band is bad!!!!
imagine being this retarded
"deeper" what the fuck are you talking about you faggot i dont care what shitty effects thom yorke implemented into fruity ass KID A it sucks the doors self titled 25+ years older and holds up better than any radiohead release u frothing at the mouth for thoms cock rn
i never said radiohead was bad
When Americans that aren't Dylan try to be deep and poetic.
Seriously, now. Why? Americans have great blues, hip hop and such stuff.
What can't you leave "Dark and Deep" to people who know what they're doing?
It's like those threads desperately trying to prove the Beach Boys were as good (or better, lol) than The Beatles.
Yanks have no idea when they're out of their depth (and if they do, are too butthurt to admit)
morrison had to much caucasity to actually write blues songs though. howlin wolf/morrison is literally the soul/soulless meme
Morrison's lyrics aren't very deep, but that doesn't mean they aren't poetic and full of great imagery. They work perfectly with his voice and the rest of the music and weren't intended to have a straightforward meaning
If I was a girl, or gay, I'd listen to the Doors and fap.
Seeing as I'm not, I don't.
I really don't see the point to Jim Morrison other than female-thirst
fedora kids see themselves as "dark and mysterious" like jim morrison
>shitty organ playing
how is it shitty?
>*stolen guitar riff*
where from?
>*shitty circus music*
wtf does that even mean
>*shitty 5 minute organ solo*
>*shitty 3 minute guitar solo*
nice arguments
tldr soibois still have no arguments against the doors, they just hate on it because they are intimidated by jim morrison's alphaness
1. Break on Through (To the Other Side)
2. The Crystal Ship
3. Light My Fire
4. End of the Night
5. The End
Fixed
but its a good cover. its better than the original
This
soibois dont understand that
liking the doors doesn't make you masculine by proxy
you seem pretty desperate to convince us you're masculine which doesn't sound like very masculine behaviour
>That Ray Manzarek organ is obnoxious as hell
I dont get this opinion at all
im not proving im masculine, im just saying you guys are not :)
It's cool to dislike popular music artists. The more popular and the more you dislike them, the cooler you are.
The Beatles? LOL.
Pink Floyd? Boomer bullshit
Metallica? Oh please
The Doors? Haha, no thanks
See how cool I am?
worshipping jim morrison won't make you as masculine as he was :) (even though he was a hippy s oyboy of his day)
>I dont get this opinion at all
which may be your clue that music is a matter of TASTE, not opinions....
I mean seriously, if you build your musical taste on principals, opinions and ideology, you won't get very far.
It's like "This guitarist is the best because he plays fastest".
It's not sport. It's art, and it's like if something is pleasing or not pleasing to your ear.
>isn't even attractive
>still cucks the "alpha" Jim Morrison
Is based Mick the biggest chad in music history?
no lol keith richards said he had a small penis in his autobiography and jagger didnt want his homo buttbuddy relationship w bowie to be exposed to the public, pretty cool guy, not more than BASED morrisson tho
Saying that Morrison got cucked by an ugly guy with a small dick doesn't help your case
>being purposefully vague and paying respect to lyrical cadence is “being shit on purpose”
All you have is hot air and hyperbole.
this lmao
I dont think he cared much while jagger was screwing his girl he was venturing Nicos throat morrisson and pamela had an open relationship , morrison remains the 60s rock chad, bub
Even if the lyrics are pretentious, the music is fun to listen to, and if you don't like their psychedelic based albums, check out their straightforward blues ones like LA Woman and Morrison Hotel.
Doors are great
lyrics were above average - not best of all time, not mind-blowing, but above average for sure
Morrison was a god tier frontman, unlike any others. Unmatched energy
Manzarek is like the fucking Johnny Marr of The Doors
Densmore is underrated, and Krieger was great as well
the thing that made the Doors IMO was how tight they were, how closely they knew each others' musical tendencies. Listen to them live and you'll see when they improv it's so absurdly good, it's like they are all one unit and it's perfectly synced. The way they build up a massive climax and bring it back down, and the way Morrison goes off script and starts singing shit on the spot with the band matching his every word and mannerism
Great band
simple as
how's soul kitchen not on this list, that song fucking rules
listened to it first at like 20 years old, instantly clicked
I tend to prefer the blues ones partially because the change in lyrics. Jim pretty much stopped trying to be a dark mystical guy at that point and just embraced being a rowdy drunk. It feels much more honest.
