i don't listen to the live doors stuff just cuz i love the production on the studio albums so much (from first to last too. LA Woman is an amazing sounding record), but i do still listen to dig the new breed every once in a while. one of my fave live albums even though it's all chopped up time-wise.

As an aside, one kind of interesting thing is that the Doors' so-serious-it's-funny overtheatricality is sorta...well, "British," isn't it? As opposed to the Jam, who Union Jack aside did nothing but ape American forms (Mod, after all, being nothing but a British aping of American rock and Motown) for the entirety of their career.
Anyway, the Doors. I don't really love them or listen to them all that often, and both bands had their share of nifty tunes, but for personality, musicality, and their willingness to be completely stupid for the sake of a cool-sounding song, the Doors.

well, fashion-wise maybe, and they took different drugs. but musically? what else goes into the pot, other than some cool noises?

Touche. I like some of the Mod covers better'n the Motown originals though - Action's "I'll Keep Holding On" and Small Faces' "Baby Don't You Do It" kinda pwn their respective sources.

That's true (and what I was trying to say initially, before I edited my post to reduce clarity), early on at least, before they just started flat-out aping Motown rather than channeling it through an intermediary British source.
