Re: Doors vs Joy Division

Both The Doors and Joy Division stood out at their times. They were non guitar dominated bands. Singers were very important, hence lyrics too.

Joy Division took the instrument the Doors didn't have, bass, and made it prominent in their sound.

Manzarek's virtuosity anchored the band, his transposition of Coltrane's "Favorite Things" into "Light My Fire" along with Paul Butterfield's "East West" open up rock music.
