I used to hate on The Doors too . . .
Then I saw that film docu on the Isle of Wight festival -- their whole look and sound was so completely different than what everyone else was doing I couldn't help but give them respect from then on.
They were dark, moody & intellectual when everyone else was a stoned longhair trying to play Chuck Berry licks faster than the next stoned longhair. Probably even more important than the Velvets in terms of creating "goth rock".
