the Doors

One of the all time greatest bands if not the greatest band of all time is the Doors. Led by the American Poet Jim Morrison the Doors are my Dad's favorite band and that's pretty much what started my love for the band. One of my good friends Conor is also a huge Doors fan and he's gotten me into them a lot more recently. Their music is great, they have all different types of songs, some that are meant to pump you up and some are just meant to sit and chill. Jim Morrison is the man too. His voice is like no others in the history of music its very distinct and very good in my opinion.
Jim and I have the same birthday which i take a lot of pride in. Jim Morrison was a good man but had a lot of problem away from music which cut his music career and life short. Jim, like many rockstars back in the '70s, used a lot of different drugs which eventually led to his sudden death. He's apart of the forever 27 which is musicians who were all extremely popular that died at the age of 27 due to drug overdoses and other freak accidents. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Brian Jones, and Kurt Cobain are the other rockers who died at the age of 27.
All in all I hope you all can appreciate and respect me saying that the Doors is the greatest band of all time and if youve never listened to them you should probably go and find a Doors cd and pop it in for a little while and understand why I like them so much.
