If you were to use originality, innovation, sophistcation and influence as criteria for greatness then the Doors would be way ahead and should be in anybody's top five list.

no they shouldn't. the doors are an overrated trashy LA junk band. they didn't put out that much music, and they didn't change much over the course of their career. they had some pretty good songs but morrison's lyrics and the band's musical innovation are both wildly overrated.

I disagree. They were incredibly original and creative (nobody has ever sounded like them, before or after them), and their songs were great, ranging from haunting ("The End") to catchy ("Light My Fire"). Morrison also had an all time great voice.
