i tell you it was magical driving around the city w/ that song playing.. BLASTING. never had a Stones moment like that.
You've obviously never gotten drunk and sang along to "Exile On Main Street" at the top of your lungs. Fuck, most of you people have probably never even HEARD "Exile On Main Street". I've had more moments with that album alone than I've ever had with any lame Doors song.
How could you guys even consider picking The Doors? They're total pussies compared to the Stones.
I think the Stones are the most overrated act in the history of rock. Sorry, just my opinion. Lyrically, musically, and vocally, The Doors surpass the Stones.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
I was waiting for someone to do the whole "Nobody liked Nirvana till Kurt died" line in regards to the longevity thing, Sticky Fingers is better than any 10 songs the Doors ever recorded, the Stone also get bonus points because they have less annoying fans

Based on what? The 6 songs you've heard? Get real.

I have listened to quite a bit of the Stones, actually. Try not to make silly assumptions like that. As I said before, they are really hit and miss with me. I like the entire Doors' catalogue. It's cool if you connect more with the Stones. I don't.

harsh words myman. i own Exile and love it. i just love the Doors more. and LA Woman is not a lame song, don't be rude.
Easily The Doors, The Doors are the second most important band of all time. I think its absolutely crazy that people consider The Rolling Stones the better of the two.

"Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?" -Lisa Simpson
The Rolling Stones are a balls-out rock and roll band, the greatest ever.
The Doors are a bad lounge act in comparison.
You said it bud.The Doors were and remain utter shite.Actually I'll amend that,the rest of the band were probably ok guys but Jim Morrison from what I have read and saw footage of him,considering he wasnt around when I was born was a overblown,ego bloated,self promoting,over privileged wanker,who sealed his questionable "icon" fate when he died.His music and poetry was immature and misguided to say the least.
In my experience of friends who were into them and touted their lyrical content as visionary.They did this at the height of their "drug experimentation college days".Once they left college and stopped getting stoned all the time they realised they had been screwed by The Doors all that time,they have a very short shelf life for most people once they grow up a bit.I am instantly suspicious of someone when they declare themselves a Doors fan.
The Rolling Stones are now a bit of an embarrassment granted and before anyone jumps in to make similarities between Jagger and Morrison in regarding to bloated ego's etc I would not disagree with that argument but Exile On Main Street is one of the finest rock albums ever.
This is a pretty crap thread really.That got me all riled up never the less.If anything it should have been The Rolling Stones vs The Who or The Doors vs The Velvet Underground.V's usually links to similarities in style,genre or cultural background.
The Doors vs The Rolling Stones fits none of these.
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
The Doors. All the guys in the Stones combined don't have the talent Ray Manzarek has. He's truly the most underrated artist ever. Add to that the great vocals of Jim and you've got a perfect band. The Stones, imo, are a bunch of wankers, posers.
i don't know man... jim morrison woulda still been legendary even if he didn't die.
the joy division lead singer inspired himself from jim morrison. scott weiland was inspired by jim morrison. a crapload of other artists were inspired by jim morrison.
of course, jim morrison was inspired by elvis presley. that's why he's the king, but that's a whole other thing.
and mind you, elvis was already the king long before he died.
"a crapload of other artists were inspired by Jim Morrison"
Yeah you're right..........and they were all crap!Didnt move far from the mothership did they?
PPS Ian Curtis was the singer in Joy Division,check music knowledge info before post.
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
The Doors for me. Just the voice and lyrics of Jim makes it for me. I also love the sensual music and uniqness in compositions.
Stones did also push that stone that later became a ROCK. Literally. But their music is dull to me. Not so much creativity as I can see with the Doors.
Without both music wouldn't be the same.
The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

His music and poetry was immature and misguided to say the least.
Jimbo's "poetry" was absolutely awful. When he finally died, The Doors approached Kevin Coyne, a genuine poet, artist and peerless singer-songwriter, to be the replacement. He told them in no uncertain terms to fuck off, and that they were crap.
The genius of Kevin Coyne (might go over a few heads):

Morrison was a twat who made to many dodgy references to lizards that he flowered up as "poetry".This is still a crap thread but has got many hooked.
“There should be a place where only the things you want to happen, happen”
I would guess the fact this thread is going on for so long is testimony to just how much the Stones have damaged themselves by continuing on way past their inspiration, ability or prime. I guess if one is forced to take albums like "Steel Wheels", "Dirty Work", "Bridges to Babylon" et al. into the equation, then, well yes, it becomes a bit of a toss up. I'm not a Doors fan at all, but I also wasn't aroun in the 60's. So when I was listenning to the Stones and Doors as a kid in the 80s all I had to go on was the music.
Now as of the 80s it was still a no brainer. The Doors had a mumble mouthed singer who couldn't be bothered to cope with reality glowering on over some chromatic elevator music.
The Stones sounded like a party, or a road trip, or a bad assed rock band.
But as time goes on, and as the Stones burry their greatness with more and more microwave dinner quality rock and roll I guess it's going to become tougher and tougher for people further down the road to tell the difference.
To me "Morrison Hotel" vs. "Exile on Main St." is no contest, Stones win. But "Morrison Hotel" vs. "Voodoo Lounge"? Still no contest... but it goes the other way.
Ironic. Everyone goes on about how no one would take the Doors seriously if Morrison hadn't died. I think people may stop taking Jagger and Richards seriously because they're still going.
i could never choose between the two. both amazing to me. i think i am indecisive by nature, because i can never choose in situations like these! just like i couldn't tell you what my favorite PJ album is, or favorite song, favorite movie, etc.
sometimes i prefer the doors, sometimes the stones.

these band comparisons really do get on my nerves. but i agree with fins, i outgrew alot of the doors shit a long time ago. i still like to hear crystal ship, indian summer, soul kitchen, riders on the storm ,etc., though less and less. as for the screaming evil "poetry" jim espoused, no thanks..
the stones are so much more listenable to me. if you can delve further than the hits, such as honky tonk women, you might be surprised..
as for the stones ticket prices, yeah, way too high. though i have to say that last september's show @ churchhill downs really was surprising and outstanding. i have seen alot of shows in my day. & the stones are THE if not one of THE best live acts i have ever seen. yes, up there with PJ.. i'm sad for anyone who has never been to a stones show. i'm even more saddened to hear that (for real) tomorrow could be their last show... yeah they may come back in a few years on a smaller scale, but as we all know things get harder as you get older.. they have given it ONE HELL of a run. fo' drizzle.

My father was a huge Stones fan until he saw them live, he said it was the worst show he ever saw. The worst.
And my cousin also went to a Stones show and he also said they sucked live.

The Doors would be behind many bands of that era, still great, just not as great.
Oasis is so far superior to PJ I won't even open up a discussion or a can.
