California in the mid-sixties was an immensely diverse area of musical creativity. But even in that context, The Doors appear as an odd mixture : samba drummer John Densmore, classical organist Ray Manzarek, flamenco guitarist Robby Krieger and haunted poet Jim Morrison, playing blues with a psychedelic twist. The band only lasted for five years but songs like The End or Light My Fire left a huge influence on popular culture as a whole.
