[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Never could understand the Doors popularity! As a musician, I thought they sucked! And Morrison was so pretentious that it hurt! Back then I was a big Zappa fan.

Reverse list of writer/musicians ?

Zappa would be near to No.1 . Clever, funny,inventive and a fine guitar player to boot.

Same with the Stones. Putting on my flame retardant coat!

There were good albums but mostly very weak and repetitive. Then again, I started following them in their later years.

Yes...there was an old adage that if you knew three chords you could become a rock star.

Many of the Doors songs contain only TWO.

And more often than not, it’s the minor to its major four chord. (Break on Through, Light My Fire, Riders of the storm, etc etc)

I know because when i teach guitar and the ultra beginner student only knows two chords, those are the songs we play! (I get to rock on the bass though)

I LOVED Zappa back in the day. Saw him live many times at a hippie nightclub called (Are You Ready???) “THE TEA PARTY!!!!” LOLOL!

I loved the Doors back then, but I was 14 at the time and only knew two chords. hahahaha

I'm not an musician, only a consumer of music, but I always thought the Doors were awful. Even after all these years, Light My Fire still makes my skin crawl.

Because Frank Zappa was never a pretentious turd...
