(Like I said before, strange thread. I particularly like the organ/keyboard digression on Page 3.)

More like,

Beatles >>> Doors
John >>>>>>> Jim

if you ask me.

I love both, but to me there is no contest.

John > Jim

Beatles > Doors

Asking on Beatles forum if Lennon is better than Morrison... I mean...really?

Glad i wasnt here then.

What a strange topic - revering all over the place with a taste of animosity thrown in.

Bizarre thread. HammerDealer was a character wasn't he? Came from nowhere, started like 100 threads and vanished within a month!

Can't help you there. I know more about Lennon's work than I do Morrison's. Morrison's voice caught my attention more than his words.

I'm comparing John to Jim, well I'm trying. It has quite a bit to do with John, just nobodies really mentions him, and they stuck to the topic of Morrison or my threads.

Perhaps this should be moved to the All Together section and renamed? It's interesting, but I don't see what it has to do with John.

Ok I have to say this, after posting the message I was like "Ok, why I don't like the Doors?" and I started checking some stuff : I really really lke Riders on the storm, Light my Fire. (that intro and instrumental part is awesome) and how could I forget Break on Through? That song rocks and I haven't played it enough.

Jim Morrison is the kind of poet I prefer. I think he had the lyricism of Rimbaud.

I love his poetry, "The Lords : notes on vision", by the way, is my favourite book.

And what I mean, again: Morrison was a poet, whatever your opinion of him is.

Umb.. now that's interesting. I think The Doors music is fantastic, but personally I don't like it. I wasn't aware that Morrison actually wrote poetry (not just lyrics for a song) and the mention of Rimbaud makes me feel curious. I'll check it out.

Thanks Marcelo!

You're welcome
