1) The lead person of the band as human being. Iggy wins.
2) The charisma and excitement provided by said band and singer. Iggy wins. (And he actually DOES get his nob out on stage, unlike Jim, the little tease).
3) Level of pretentious bollocks. Iggy wins.
4) Ghastliness of fans. Iggy wins.
5) Musical acomplishment. The Doors win, although there are some tracks that really get on my tits. Iggy/Stooges did some good stuff, but frankly it's a trfle too raw for regular listening, I have to be in a specific mood for a lot of it.
1) Hmm, lizard with tendency to paunchiness versus stringy roll of sliced-up sinew. I'm not sure either comes out on top in the being human stakes... 2) Oh, I think it's a matter of record that Jim whipped his out often enough. Or too often, depending on how one looks at it. To be honest, I'd rather see Iggy's, though, so yeah, I'll give you that one. 3) Oh God, 'The End'. Still, the music's great. 4) Well, there are an awful lot more Doors fans than Stooges fans. Sure there are probably more ghastly Doors fans than Stooges fans in absolute numbers, but the proportions are probably just the same. Think of all those skanky old punks loitering on Camden High St. 5) They both have their moments. I really like some Stooges stuff, especially Search and Destroy. But the Doors have it for me on balance.
