The Doors were on of the top 3 or 4 bands of the era, if not the very top.

Underappreciated IMHO.

Blues-Rock with an ethereal flow throughout.

Densmore on drums was up there with Bonham and Baker.

Oliver Stone's The Doors (1991) is a masterpiece, despite taking some factual liberties.

For instance, Pam Morrison comes across as angelic and squeaky clean, when in reality she was a manipulative heroin addict.

But Pam's parents owned a 50% interest in Morrison's recordings (the other half owned by Morrison's parents). And Pam's parents would not give permission for Stone to use the recordings unless Pam was portrayed in a good light.

“..Densmore on drums was up there with Bonham and Baker...”

Yep. Mixed in with likes of keyboardist, Ray Manzarek and the others, it became one awsome group.

Loved The Doors. I was young then and enjoyed dancing to their music.
