Now that Jimbo shit posting is regularly posted I have a confession.

I've been listening to this band since I was 14 or 15. Like religiously listening to all their music and the poetry album. Now I'm 31 and I'm starting to feel cringe from their music.

>Jim passed out on the floor from too much drugs at every show
>Manzarek repeating the same accents over and over on keyboard
>Krieger pretending to play the blues
>Densmore was kind of chill and a decent drummer

The CIA mk-ultra music is not a shill, It's a fact

I've been listening since to them since I was like 11 or 12, I'm 45 now and I still love them

I Don't want to be misunderstood. The doors are THE psychedelic rock band IMO. The influence of Morrison in every rock front man still persists to this day. They have some cringe-worthy songs tho. Songs in which the sonic experimental element went too far. Like manzareks weird sound effects on some tracks and the melodies being so weird sometimes. It was all a circus freak show act. I listen their songs but when I feel the cringe I skip the song. So yeah I'm retarded because I never loved my generation's music and listened to the doors instead.

I've never liked the Doors because I have good taste.

Kek. They're so bad. Like recommend to me their best song in your opinion.

OP here I like all of them. No favorite one. I like them all. But I live with other people and I'm cringe paranoid because their music gets weird sometimes.

Are you paranoid that they're not gonna like if you put The Doors to play, because their music is very different than what you like? I guess just say that you guys have different tastes and they're gonna be fine with you. Both of you will cringe at the other's music, so it's not like you'll be the only one being weird in someone's perspective.

I was obsessed with The Doors from about age 17 to about age 23. They really really spoke to my need for something mystic, mysterious, and deeply romantic in the world. That combination of mysticism and world-weariness struck me as beautiful and haunting in a good way. I took it to a really cringe level though, I was too much of a Jim Morrison wannabe. The dude was legitimately my main role model, alongside Hunter S. Thompson. Jim Morrison himself would probably have thought it was really cringe. But hey, The Doors really opened something up in me at a time in my life when I was, anyway, beginning to change from a nerdy bookworm teacher's pet kind of personality into someone who wanted something more visceral and rebellious. A change that would have happened one way or another. The Doors were a big part of why I started to write poems, play music, go on adventures, and actually pursue women instead of staying in my shy teenage virginity. They helped me to realize that one could be intellectual, artistic, and sexually attractive all at the same time. At some point in my 20s I got bored of them. Didn't listen to them for years. At some point in my 30s I started listening to them again every now and then and thankfully, now without all the hero-worship and overadulation of people like Morrison and Thompson who, while brilliant, were also very troubled and caused people around them a lot of problems. It's nice to be able to develop a brand new level of relationship with a band you loved when you were a kid. Thanks, Doors.

Ray Manzarek was like Jim Morrison's pet golden retriever, completely worshipful of him

I too am thirty one. I listened to this band pretty much exclusively for about six months when I was 12-13. Then I heard Pink Floyd and never listened to the doors again.

LA Woman is a Top 10 album in my books.
