THE DOORS

 RAY MANZAREK, ROBBY KRIEGER, JIM MORRISON, JOHN DENSMORE

The Doors, one of the most influential and controversial rock bands of the 1960s, 

were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 by UCLA film students Ray Manzarek, keyboards, 

and Jim Morrison, vocals; with drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. 

The group never added a bass player, and their sound was dominated by Manzarek's electric organ work 

and Morrison's deep, sonorous voice, with which he sang and intoned his highly poetic lyrics

 The Doors returned to crunching, straightforward hard rock on Morrison Hotel, an album that, 

despite yielding no major hit singles, returned them to critical favor with hip listeners. 

An increasingly bluesy flavor began to color the songwriting and arrangements, especially 

on the party'n'booze anthem "Roadhouse Blues." Airy mysticism was still present on 

"Waiting for the Sun," "Queen of the Highway," and "Indian Summer"; "Ship of Fools" 

and "Land Ho!" struck effective balances between the hard rock arrangements and the narrative 

reach of the lyrics. "Peace Frog" was the most political and controversial track, documenting 

the domestic unrest of late-'60s America before unexpectedly segueing into the restful 

ballad "Blue Sunday." "The Spy," by contrast, was a slow blues that pointed 

to the direction that would fully blossom on L.A. Woman...(AllMusic)
