The Doors were one of the most important bands to come out in the 60s.
For my personal taste in music, THE most important.
Everything else musically at that time was flowers and sunshine hippy music. The Doors introduced the idea of dark conceptual imagery to music - they really started the whole "goth" music movement. So many bands and singers were influenced by Morrison & cohorts. Musically, yea, they sometimes made odd choices but listen to other shit from the 60s and you'll see how revolutionary they were.
You need to compare bands to their contemporaries when rating them, not to what's going on now.
Doors, Beatles, Joplin and Hendrix - all very important and influential - other then that, most of the 60s blew.
