Ray Manzarek. (And Ian Astbury from the Cult, but that is most obviously post-Morrison).
 
They had a 2-CD Best of the Doors set which is pretty good.  Like with any "Best of" it doesn't have all of the best of the Doors (Peace Frog comes to mind), but it does have a good many of them.

Maybe he did but he never wanted to do it! And of course I know all members of the Doors: Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger, John Densmore. All of them were great!

He's a son of Polish emigrants from Chicago.

I never pronounced his surname as MAnzarek, only ManzArek. All the words in Polish have a penultimate stress...

As for The Doors as the band -- it is one of my all-time favourite bands, already for 18 years. I like all their albums, and some of their songs are simply precious for me. It'll take too long to name all these songs...
 
And, despite the fact that Morrison was a real leader of the group, I always perceived them as a group, not as Morrison & Co.

I cant stand the doors at all, just another buch of druggies that made a couple hits.
 
No musicianship
 
The songwriting is very bad, as to where people say it's some of the best!

Who gives a ... about musicianship as long it rock's n roll's? The Stones didenth have the best "musicianship" ither but they still managed to become the greatest rock band ever. And you probobly never heard a doors album anyway.. they made 6 great albums and yes a cuple of hits too, one of the best rock bands americas ever hade imo.

I don't much like the Doors either. As many here would say, I find them "Overrated".

Admittedly I haven't listened to many of their songs, but thats because I thought the ones I HAD heard were mainly very poor.

'Tis one thing to preach, but another to pray, eh?
 
Er, sorry, I mean, what qualities of the band do you find overrated? Poor melodies? Poor style? Poor...diet? Jimmy DID put on some weight later on...
