The Doors

12 Aug 2022

I have been a fan of the Doors for 30 years now.

American psychedelic rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, with:
- vocalist: Jim Morrison
- keyboardist: Ray Manzarek
- guitarist: Robby Krieger
- drummer: John Densmore

"They were among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, partly due to Morrison's lyrics and voice, along with his erratic stage persona. The group is widely regarded as an important figure of the era's counterculture."
