The Doors

The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, comprising vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore. They were among the most influential and controversial rock acts of the 1960s, primarily due to Morrison's lyrics and voice, along with his erratic stage persona and legal issues. The group is widely regarded as an important figure of the era's counterculture. thumb|The Doors (1968)from left: Jim Morrison, John Densmore, Robby Krieger i Ray Manzarek (sitting) Quotes from songs Before you slip into unconsciousnessI'd like to have another kiss.
