[atlantaprog] Re: This list has become tiresome - touch my monkey,

Morrison was a poetic-visionary front-man.  He also was a crooner.  I have no 
problem with that.  The Doors simply weren't "The Doors" without him.
 
And yes, his lyrical ramblings seem far less visionary in retrospect.  
Nonetheless, his charisma propelled the band both internally *and* externally.  
 
(Manzerek is also an under-appreciated keyboard player IMO.)

Morrison wasn't a singer at all until Manzerek talked him into it!
