Come on baby, light my fire...

Formed in Los Angelos in 1965, The Doors was a psychedelic rock band with four members:

lead singer-Jim Morrisondrums-John Densmore 

keyboard-Ray Manzarek

guitar-Robby Kreiger

It was Ray Manzarek’s idea to start the band after he had Jim sing him some of his lyrics. Jim Morrison had a very distinct, beautiful voice with lyrics so powerful and unique which made it easy for The Doors to become one of the greatest classic rock band. The Door’s music wasn’t like any other band, probably even to this day, and that is what made them so memorable through the years. Jim Morrison didn't only sing songs, he also had poetry sessions as well.

Their first hit single was Light My Fire, which the doors did live on the Ed Sullivan show. The band was asked to switch the word higher to better at first the band agreed, but when they were in front of the camera they performed singing "You know that I would be untrue.  You know that I would be a liar.  If I was to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher.  Come on baby light my fire."  Ed Sullivan, furious, came up to the band yelling "you'll never do the Ed Sullivan Show again!"  Jim Morrison simply replies "Hey man, so what?  We just DID the Ed Sullivan Show."  Two words...BAD ASS.

As the band was getting more famous, their lead singer was suffering from drug and alcohol abuse which changed his behavior. At one of their concerts Jim was even arrested for public exposure. After this the Doors made two more albums and finally Jim left the band and moved to France in 1971. That year Jim Morrison died of a mysterious death and it was tragic for everyone. The band tried to do a couple more albums with out him, but personally it was just not the same.

Do you think he's cute?

....yup    ...kind of looks like a creeper   ....mmm, yes

My personal favs:

Come on Baby Light My Fire

Break on Through to the Other Side

People Are Strange

Love Me Two Times

Hello I love You

Touch Me

All of these songs have incredible lyrics, awesome beats and are great if you're looking for a rock out session or just want to belt out a couple of words.  The Doors are worth it, I promise.
