The Doors are creatures of their time, and haven't really dated well. It was all a bit sprawling and self-indulgent. They were very influential, and not least on Iggy - The Passenger was based on one of Morrison's poems - but I don't think their recordings are as good, and they were even more flatulent in the live footage I've seen.
If you come across a copy of Please Kill Me, do pick it up - the late-sixties part of the interviews has people lining up to say what a little shit Morrison was. It's funny, in a train-wreck sort of way.
