These guys provided a rare combo of a unique sound, outstanding musicianship and a passion for making hits.

With Jim Morrison’s stoned-like poetry and Ray Manzarek doing Bach fugues, The Doors were on another level of the edge of rock music. Unfortunately, the Lizard King’s untimely death was the end of the band. The next band ahead became well-known for having popularized the Southern rock genre during the seventies.
