The Doors

My favourite music band is The Doors, an American group of psychedelic rock from the end of the sixties. Their members are Jim Morrison (vocals), Ray Manzarek (organ), Robbie Krieger (guitar) and John Densmore (drums). They met in Los Angeles, California.
The idea to do a music band was because Jim was thinking about that a lot of time, and in a casual metting with Ray, he told him about that idea, and Jim sang to him the lyrics of ‘Moonlight Drive’, probably the first song written by Jim. With the Ray's help, they contacted to John and Robbie, who had special characteristics and experience to make The Doors, one of the most important sample of the airs of revolution and chaos of that time, in USA and the world.
The difference between this band and the others of those years, was the dark sound and the show than they displayed in the stage, near an indian ceremony where people could to feel a special connection with their spirituality (or that is what many testimonies say). It was the Ray's virtuality, the John's improvised percussions, the blues-soul sound of the guitar of Robbie, and the Jim's poems, what make to The Doors my favourite band, whose songs, in my opinion, are magical.

    1. Maybe a good start is the view of the documental "When you're strange" (Tom DiCillo, 2009).
      And you can to listen this album: 'L.A. woman', the last one before the death oh Morrison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98-3YoCHkAw

      I know just a little bit about The Who, maybe you should recommend some LP to me.
