I must say in that video Morrison was out of his fuckin skull....
it was a miracle he could even speak.
Ed likes his booze, but compared to Morrison he's an alter boy..
Stage presence-both tremendous, too close to call....
As far as lyrics- they are both all-time greats, but I'll give the nod to Vedder....
voice-wise- once again both all-time greats, but personally I'll go Vedder...
We're all PJ fans on this board but you have to admit Morrison was a tremendous front-man...
doesnt any one remeber when eddie and the doors recorded like 5 songs together back in '92.
he fukn tore them up... roadhouse blues and la woman were sick..........
duh
mojo risin's long gone,
eds alive and kicking
this idea is kinda silly
For the ones who had a notion, a notion deep inside
That it ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

He's been deified because he died at an early age.
All sneer, no substance. The W. Axl Rose of his time.
I agree!! Densmore and Kreiger were better song writers to boot!!

i don't know why you guys have gone on the tangent of actual greatness...it was just a joke cause they both tried to turn the lights down, Ed succeeded and Jim didn't...i was just kidding around with the fact that Eddie knows how to get things done...
when it comes to actual skill, i really don't have an opinion, i love The Doors but i really don't listen to them on a regular basis so i don't know much about Jim or his antics, so i can't make a credible argument for a real comparison
again my only point to this thread was just to joke about how Ed was able to turn the lights off when Jim fell short...and if i had an opinion, i'd say you can't compare, cause, these two artists are from different eras which called for different styles...it's like comparing a modern day TV sitcom, to a classic sitcom like I Love Lucy or The Honeymooners

I have idolized Eddie Vedder for almost 20 years now...
BUT
Jim Morrison was AMAZING in his time!
AMAZING!
Of course Pac keeps on giving. He wrote that book a long time ago... a real long time ago... in '94

they are my two favorite singers/songwriters of all time though.
love both them.
Jim's poetry is brilliant.
