The Doors' oeuvre is stupidly overrated & Light My Fire is like their only decent song

Edit: LMF is only their third most popular song anyway

every insecure teenager who wasn't super popular thought the song, like, totally expressed their feelings.

but it is not close to the brilliant artistic achievement some would have you believe. it's pretty trite, albeit with a good bridge.

But the fact that it gets played like 3x more than their next most popular song is stupid.

a song like that was more typical of their "sound" than round-squared.

there are multiple better songs just on that debut album (which is excellent, btw)

"much too much," about losing interest in dating your gf when she still loves you, is catchy & powerful, but painful (in a good way).

and not many people have ever heard it.

also, their cover of "where is my mind" is 180.

It's almost an accident of sorts that Kokomo got as popular as it did

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3957981&forum_id=2#35905700)

Some of their fantastic songs like God of Wine never really got any play.

Every few years I listen to it front to back and am still amazed that the only clunker on the album is Jumper

How do I get back there to, the place where I fell asleep inside you

Those little red panties they pass the test

Slides up around your belly face down on the mattress

I just think it's one of their most boring hit songs (Boys Don't Cry, In-Between Days, Close To Me, Pictures of You, Lovesong are all better IMO. I guess Lovecats is worse.). And I agree their late-career stuff is all shit too.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3957981&forum_id=2#35908390)

I think pictures of you and lovesong, and probably even boys don't cry are also pretty huge and well known.

I think lovecats is 180, I love that song and video.

not bad, but certainly overrated, and they definitely have better

there are tons of foo fighters songs i prefer to listen to than those two.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3957981&forum_id=2#35905725)

what would you suggest?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3957981&forum_id=2#35905747)

that's tough, because everlong and my hero are probably their most widely known songs.

i like stuff from their first album, like "This is a call."

actually, i love a song they just released, "the sky is a neighborhood," but i don't think it caught on or anyone knows it

"This was not even a close contest – "Everlong" got 500 more votes than anything else on the list. It might even be the biggest blow-out we've ever seen...The Foo Fighters have a lot of big songs, but this is their "Born to Run" or "Where the Streets Have No Name." When they break it out toward the end of their show, the place always goes crazy."

xo shits on them because they've been around for over 20 years now and boomers have come to love them, but they have some good stuff.

the debut album, which was really just a grohl demo tape, is awesome
