Bandmixers Discography Series / Selections From -
THE DOORS / GREATEST HITS COMPILATION (1985)
The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, consisting of Jim Morrison (vocals), Ray Manzarek (keyboard), Robby Krieger (guitar), and John Densmore (drums). Known for their eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, and psychedelic music, the band became one of the most influential and controversial acts of the 1960s. Their music, led by Morrison's poetic lyrics and charismatic stage presence, pushed boundaries in both sound and themes, often exploring topics like love, rebellion, and existentialism. The Doors' breakthrough came with their self-titled debut album in 1967, featuring hits like "Light My Fire" and "Break On Through (To the Other Side)." The band's sound was defined by Manzarek's distinctive keyboard playing and Morrison's deep, often mysterious vocal delivery. The Doors remain an iconic band, known for their contributions to rock history, their rebellious spirit, and their enigmatic frontman.
