The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, comprising vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore. Their blues-tinged psychedelic sound - anchored by Manzarek's organ lines in place of a bass player - and Morrison's dark, poetic lyrics set them apart from the prevailing West Coast rock of the era. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, the band has surpassed 120 million equivalent album sales worldwide and remains a touchstone of 1960s counterculture.
