In all respect - if The Beatles are considered a Proto-Prog band, then surely The Doors are more than worthy. 'Proto' is the keyword. Prog, but not 'Prog'.

Agreed. I think the whole thing was geared more towards what Jim came up with than anything else ... and the problem was that it was a oen way road to no one knows where ... but the music left behind is astounding ... and yeah ... the feelings, the moods and the "visualness" of the words, are what sticks the most in my mind. Most of the "progressive" bands are nowhere near that at all. I kinda think that in the West Coast in America, the desire to be more musically adventurous just was not there ... the "trip" was always more interesting and fun than anything else, and most bands in SF and LA displayed that and few of them went out of that element to be able to be considered ... "progressive". But the influence ... is all over the place and then some, which makes it hard to not mention and include sometimes!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

^ I agree with most Dean's points, though in my opinion The Doors never were true Psychedelic or Acid Rock band.

To return to the original questions: yes, they were beyond a doubt progressive, and I'll let it go at that without getting into all the progressive/prog hair-splitting.
Among their most progressive songs, IMO: Break on Through Strange Days The End The Crystal Ship The Unknown Soldier Not to Touch the Earth Spanish Caravan The Soft Parade Light My Fire |

I agree. The Doors weren't for example Symphonic rock or Canterbury rock, but they were progressive rock band. Also, I agree that the term 'prog' doesn't mean anymore a short of progressive rock only. Maybe it's not fair but that's the reality. At present day, Prog is a genre with a number of 'retro' bands who are playing recycled music of '70s symphonic rock and we call them Symphonic Prog and / or Neo Prog because those bands are able to recycle 70s symphonic rock clishes more or less gracefuly, but there's no way to recycle an essential progressive band from '60s - The Doors. EDIT: I agree with NotAProgHead that The Doors weren't Psychedelic and / or Acid Rock band. Edited by Svetonio - May 20 2013 at 01:48 |
