Whilst I personally enjoy the music of both bands equally, I prefer Ian Curtis' lyrics to Jim Morrison's - although in some respects they're both pretty adolescent, Curtis' are more down to earth, less overblown and riddled with cliched metaphors.

It seems to me that the Oliver Stone biopic did the Doors' credibility more harm than good. After being revered for decades, the current generation doesn't seem to rate them all that much.

And as for the 21st Century Doors with Ian Astbury ... that was one re-union I avoided like the plague. Never could stand the Cult, or Death Cult or even Southern Death Cult for that matter. He was probably the worst choice they could have made as a replacement for Jimbo IMO.
