I wasn't from this era, but I can picture it when this song plays. The Doors were great artists who will be enjoyed forever by those who admire the culture of which this music came

I was born in '61 so not sure when this came out. I saw the movie with Val Kilmer - and he sang the songs himself. He was great. I did some reading on the Doors after the movie and read that Jim was indeed close to genius level, was in a few points of being able to join the group nowadays known as Mensa - don't know if they had that back in those days. It just goes to show you what drugs, alcohol and fame can to do a person. He was too young and way to smart to die like he did.

Hard to pick favorites when it comes to Jim's "gems" of enticing lyrics. My favorite is still, "Before you slip into unconsciousness, I'd like to have another kiss" very sexy stuff..

I was in the fron row of our gym, barely 4 feet away from Jim Morrison when the DOORS opened with LIGHT MY FIRE, played at our high school "TEEN CLUB" Aug. 1, 1969,Saratoga, CALIF.
YES< HE was as cute as he looks, YES< they were awesome, yes he was a partier, but I also think he must have been bipolar. I LOVE HIS Music, I can identify with his lyrics, the dude was too young to go...that's if he really IS dead. I think he's up in Oregon just traipsing around,(Ya know nobody ever confirmed if it was HIS body that was laid to rest in France...)

He was such a genius. That is not enough to describe his god-given talent and artistic abilities. His music, his poetry, his sexy bod...it's heart-breaking that he passed at such a young age, but I have seen it happen before to young men and women with those talents and minds. Just not "discovered by Hollywood." Will we ever know the truth about Jim's passing? I pray there's a "special place" for those who die young with so much to give the world.

It rumored that Mr. Mojo Risen wore them leather pants on tour a very long time!!! Leather gets very hot and sweaty and stinky; he probably stood them up in the corner when he was out of them. I wonder if anyone has them now? Anybody know? Not that I want them.

wow. The Doors are my favourite band of all time. no ones music has every even come close. i wouldnt have put the intro to light my fire as there best, simply because thats the only doors song everyone seems to know. do yourself a favor and go buy every last one of there albums.

Wow, how to choose through Morrison's catalogue of lyrics! Just to represent him on this list is a tribute to his talent.

for some reason, i've sent two messages to the site about zevon after getting notice that 2 email's were sent to me. got no emails so i guess my messages won't get on that board. will try to see if the one i'm doing now on the doors will get on or not. think aol's sick...as always. wasn't into the doors but i like la woman and riders on the storm. he seemed to sing off key alot, maybe on purpose or maybe because he couldn't carry a tune if he had a bucket. never watched the movie to learn about this band but i recently saw on the biography channel (direct tv or it was on aol) that he didn't die of a heartattack as what was said to be the cause of his death. it said that he was doing drugs (heroin?) in the bathroom stall, they found him dead there and carried him upstairs to put him in a bed. this was done to cover up how he actually died. as for him being an "almost" Mensa, a bit too low in the IQ department..i do qualify to be one and so does my husband. we never joined the Mensa Society though, think it's obnoxious to be a card carrying member. we think it's foolish, childish, and silly so this more than proves we've got super high IQ's.

I can honestly say that the Doors were the best ever. They were ahead of their time, and that ok because we all love a new and up-coming band.
