were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, with vocalist
Jim Morrison
, keyboardist
Ray Manzarek
, guitarist
Robby Krieger
, and drummer
John Densmore
. They were among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly because of Morrison's lyrics, voice, and his erratic stage persona. They have been also cited as "the kings of
acid rock
genre",
and the group was widely regarded as an important part of the
era's counterculture
.
The band took its name from the title of
Aldous Huxley
's book
The Doors of Perception
, itself a reference to a quote by
William Blake
. After signing with
Elektra Records
, the Doors with Morrison released six albums in five years, some of which are considered among the greatest of all time,
including
The Doors
(1967),
Strange Days
(1967),
and
L.A. Woman
(1971).
They were one of the most successful bands during that time and by 1972 the Doors had sold over 4 million albums domestically and nearly 8 million singles.
Morrison died in uncertain circumstances in 1971. The band continued as a trio until disbanding in 1973.
They released three more albums in the 1970s, two of which featured earlier recordings by Morrison, and over the decades reunited on stage in various configurations. In 2002, Manzarek, Krieger and
Ian Astbury
of
the Cult
on vocals started performing as "The Doors of the 21st Century". Densmore and the Morrison estate successfully sued them over the use of the band's name. After a short time as Riders on the Storm, they settled on the name
Manzarek–Krieger
and toured until Manzarek's death in 2013.
The Doors were the first American band to accumulate eight consecutive gold LPs.
According to the
RIAA
, they have sold 33 million records in the US
and over 100 million records worldwide,
making them one of the
best-selling bands of all time
.
The Doors have been listed as one of the greatest artists of all time by magazines including
Rolling Stone
, which ranked them 41st on its list of the "
100 Greatest Artists of All Time
".
In 1993, they were inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
.
A percentage of all sales go to combat drug addiction.
