The Doors are widely considered one of the most influential and iconic rock bands of all time. Formed in Los Angeles in 1965, the band consisted of vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore. The Doors’ music was characterized by Morrison’s poetic lyrics, Manzarek’s innovative use of the organ, Krieger’s distinctive guitar playing, and Densmore’s powerful drumming.
The Doors released six studio albums during their brief but prolific career, including The Doors (1967), Strange Days (1967), Waiting for the Sun (1968), The Soft Parade (1969), Morrison Hotel (1970), and L.A. Woman (1971). The band’s music was a mix of blues, rock, psychedelic, and jazz influences, and their lyrics often explored themes of love, death, and rebellion.
