Over the course of five turbulent years, the band released six studio albums of music that has such an odd timeless quality that it steadfastly refuses to date, as evidenced by successive generations turning on to their music. I will admit that Jim Morrison did often come across as a pretentious posturer, but he was such a frustrating, impenetrable enigma that was...and still is....hard to pin down. That character trait was part of his inexplicable charisma. The public usually demonstrated a somewhat unpredictable approach to an upcoming new Doors album but again this was something that made the band a joy to observe. Sure, the Doors have been over-analyzed and at times blown a bit out of proportion, but all great artists and their memorable works (cue to: Sgt Pepper, Dark Side of the Moon) are subject to that particular (and sometimes bitter) fate.

So Jim Morrison was an adolescent talent, was he? What kind of 'mature' music do they prefer? Klaus Wunderlich? Matt Munro? Pat Boone? Jeez, gimme a break.
