Now this is more like it - I like almost every band mentioned with the exception of the Doors - average at best IMO got their fame through drugs and not music. I can't see how the likes of Led Zeppelin will ever be repeated with the current state of the industry which is unfortunate.

I realize that we're talking about personal taste in music, and you are surely entitled to your opinion, but IMO Jim Morrison was the ultimate frontman for a rock band. He was charismatic, sexy, lewd, and a helluva singer and lyricist-poet. The rest of the band was good enough to pull it off.
And in case you missed it, drugs and rock-and-roll were pretty tight back then, with a little sex to make it all stick together.
Taken in context, the first Doors album was nothing short of a revelation. A pivotal recording in the history of rock, IMHO.
And have we forgotten the Rolling Stones? Another incredible band, but you really have to go back to their early stuff to get a full appreciation. Honky Tonk Women is still a great rock song in my book.

No offense taken. It WAS an era, and those days are long gone. But the music lives on!

I love the Rolling Stones as well. Honkey Tonk Women, Paint It Black, Brown Sugar, Jumpin' Jack Flash. All of those songs were/are fun to listen to.
the whole sticky fingers album is awesome
