Although not necessarily musically. Just by personal preference. :)

I'm assuming we're just choosing a band on their own merits, not on all the other bands they've influenced...

Life's a riot with Jim vs. Jim.

Curse these one-dimensional choices.

It's prog vs punk, innit? Masters of the universe vs Never mind the bollocks.

I choose the Doors, but only for the bits where wee Jimmy shuts up about breaking through crystal ships.

I am deeply shocked that the Doors are winning.

I would be interested in hearing the whole discussion regarding the different types of people. I do agree that this is an interesting personality divison, but I wonder if it's for the same reasons.

I'm really not familiar with Iggy's work on the whole, couldn't tell you the name of a song though i'm sure i've heard a bit over the years. Jim's lyrics are a bit too heady for me sometimes but overall i do like them. I particularly like Roadhouse Blues, straightforward, bluesy rock, mindless lyrics. :)

I'm probably the only one on here who has seen both bands live (not any recent incarnations) and pick The Doors since they put on a cracking live show and have written some of my all time favourite songs (especially Moonlight Drive.


I do love the Igster's rawness live and have seen him about 5 times over a few decades and have to admit it was a close choice of which to pick.

I made my choice based on which band I would generally prefer to listen to*. Nothing to do with musical influence, which cover band it would be more fun to be in, or which lead singer really got his dick out. I can never be accused of over-thinking the question...


* This seems an odd reason, based on some of the replies so far.

ha! i evened it up without even knowing it.
stogges win. hands down, every time. doors are alright, but if you want to bounce around and have fun it HAS to be the stooges, plus iggy oozes sex appeal and jim morrison...well imo he was past it before he died!

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.
