Hey, DarthChicken, have you seen the lack of love THE DOORS have gotten in the "worst bands" thread? (I like 'em and have most of their albums):

Oh well, any guitarists list should be topped by JIMI HENDRIX (not Robbie Krieger):

Mr. DS · September 17, 2008, 07:42:34 PM

4.) Jerry Cantrell - Alice In Chains

HappyGilmore · September 17, 2008, 08:20:53 PM

5.) Brian May

I think he sometimes gets overlooked when people talk about guitar players, honestly.

I was pretty shocked to see the hate they got in the "worst bands' thread, myself.

I know other people dislike The Doors, but in my opinion they're amazing.. Also, I agree that Hendrix is a better guitarist, but I wanted to start the list with someone else.

THE DOORS have simply fallen out of fashion. It's trendy to knock THE DOORS.
