I totally disagree,
Firstly:
It was years 1966 - 1970 the face of the rock music was forming, there was NOTHING like they played ever around before
Secondly:
The Doors is a band full of very talented (and underrated) individuals (speaking of Delmore and Krieger) unique in their approach enough to create a very unique sound, totally uncomparable to any other band in their time, with a very charismatic singer (that's what most people imagine - Jim Morrison yet in fact it was the BAND)
Thirdly:
None of the bands that were inspired by them came even close to their psychedelic, atmospheric, very intense rock, they created something that also in fact dissapeared once the Doors were disbanded.
Fourthly:
Doors are not just the movie and sexy Morrison pic and "light my fire", but mainly their great two last albums (Morrisson Hotel, L.A Woman) L.A. woman beeing my favourite I haven't ever found many records that would be more intense than this one (Morrison drank about two bottles of whisky in those days but it actually probably helped his feeling on this record)
The Doors are a band never to be forgotten that will (hopefully) also because of Mr. Stone find its way to the younger audience.
