The Doors


The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California. The band took its name from Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception the title of which was a reference to a William Blake quote: "When the doors of perception are cleansed, things will appear to man as they truly are...infinite." They were among the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, due mostly to Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stagepersona”. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973.

Although The Doors active career ended in 1973, their popularity has persisted. According to the RIAA, they have sold over 32.5 million albums in the US alone. Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger still occasionally tour together with additional musicians as Manzarek-Krieger, performing Doors songs exclusively.
