structurally they are the most post-punk of all the name brand 60s bands....the chording and melodies are much more carried by the keyboards and bass and the guitar tends towards more textural or ornamental, clean tone single note picked lines

if you don't consider the music machine "name brand", i guess. manzarek's playing gets a little too proggy to really fit in with post-punk imo

i dunno, what about the damned or magazine? and i'm not talking about playing styles i said "structurally"....you've got a case of doorsphobia man, you need to break on thru and accept how awesome they are

look i love "tequila" as much as anybody else but changing the lyrics to a superficial gloss on huxley does not improve the song.

see what you just described actually sounds like the best possible approach to rock music a.k.a. the doors

Wait if they have no bass player then is that line in peacefrog guitar? Synth?

If getting loaded on whiskey and loudly pontificating on topics you are at best only dimly familiar with isn't rock'n'roll then I've got some serious explaining to do to myself circa age 20 until right now

Very like the Seeds in fact. (I love both bands btw)

xxp there's bass on a lot of the doors' studio recordings. think it was one of the LA wrecking crew dudes?

me, i think the best art comes from those who share their personal experience with the world. and i can't possibly think of a better example of that than the lyrics to the champs' "tequila".
