Curt,
You got to be kidding!! Even if The Doors aren't your bag, you can't say
they suck. They blended jazz/blues/cabaret/rock/latin in a (at the time)
new & fresh way. Actually, their influence is still being felt in modern
music. No flames please. I'm just a huge fan of their contributions to
music.

peace,
R. Scott/West Coast Harem
