"Terrible" is subjective. Some of their stuff is garbage, but that's more to Morrison's addictions than to agitprop. You have to agree that the guitar work on "Spanish Caravan" is nothing short of virtuositc.
You probably like the Beatles as well. It's simply pop music with ungodly messages no different than the madonnas of today. There is power in repetition, even if you don't know the meaning behind the words, or if you don't think the words affect you, some songs shouldn't be sung.
Yes. Early Beatles. Not so much after they "guru-ed out" following their spiritual awakening in StreetShitterstan.
I always though of the Beatles as children's music with how simple it was. 1234 ABCD 78910 altogether now! We all live in a yellow submarine. I am the walrus coocoocachoo. Here comes the sun do do do do. Hello. Hello hello. You say goodbye. I say hello. Hello hello.
Like they sound like music written for children to me, like something appropriate for a puppet show.

Cotton's point about being repetitious is apt, but that structure has been there since the beginning, so I don't know what he's on about.
I think he was criticizing lyrics specifically and how the repetitive pop melodies cause people to sing along without consideration for what they're saying, he is suggesting that chanting lyrics can have a subliminal effect on the mental state of the listener. But I can't think of any terrible "ungodly" lyrics from the doors or the Beatles.
I'm criticizing their musicianship. While they might have a couple good moments (helter skelter), the Beatles popularized the minimalistic approach to music composition that we know as "pop music" today: maximum 4 chords per part, maximum 3 parts, every part repeats at least twice.

Today I learned the Doors are a terrible band. There’s even a photo of Morrison dad to prove it.
You knew beforehand.
With a tune like 5 to 1, you are gravely mistaken. If you are a proponent of the state this song should scare you.
"Five To One"
> Yeah, c'mon I love my girl She lookin' good C'mon One more
> Five to one, baby
> One in five
> No one here gets out alive, now
> You get yours, baby
> I'll get mine
> Gonna make it, baby If we try
What's the ratio being referenced here? You think this song is about people vs the state, but the people outnumber public officials far greater than 5:1 ratio. Maybe I'm wrong, but 5 to 1 doesn't sound like the correct ratio of common citizens to politicians or whatever.
> The old get old
> And the young get stronger
> May take a week
> And it may take longer
> They got the guns
> But we got the numbers
> Gonna win, yeah
> We're takin' over
> Come on!
This seems like the song is about dems vs republicans in a local area. "They got guns but" implies the other side doesn't, "we got numbers" implies they are a larger movement 5x the size. If I had to guess, this is a reference to the political divide in California.
> Your ballroom days are over, baby
> Night is drawing near
> Shadows of the evening
> Crawl across the years
"Ballroom days" likely is a reference to a more classical time when music was sophisticated and formal. Makes sense for the 1960s.
> Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
> Trying to tell me no one understands
Idk what this part means
> Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes
> Gonna' make it, baby, in our prime
Probably sarcastically complaining about low wages or the spread of drugs "dimes"
> Come together one more time
> Get together one more time
> Get together one more time
> Get together, aha
> Get together one more time!
> Get together one more time!
> Get together one more time!
> Get together one more time!
> Get together one more time!
> Get together, got to, get together
One more time? That was ten lol typical shitty pop music.
> Hey, c'mon, honey
> You won't have a long wait for me, baby
> I'll be there in just a little while
> You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people and
Revelation of the method, here he is admitting his obligation to "these people".
> Get together one more time
> Get together one more time
> Get together, got to
> Get together, got to
> Get together, got to
> Take you up in my room and
> Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah
> Love my girl
> She looking good, looking real good
> Love you, come on
Dude can't not sing about sex in any one song.
Anyways, I don't think that scared any proponents of the state, a proponent of the state probably wrote it.

(((They))) obviously used music to induce cultural changes, regardless of how bad it sounds. Look at the salacious lyrics of 70s and 80s rock and roll for instance (such as Whole Lotta Love from Led Zeppelin)
Zeppelin is overrated too, almost all their songs were ripoffs of old blues tunes and Plant and Page were pedos. I think I remember that one of them married an 18yo in their 70s but that's the least damning story.
> Riders on the Storm
> People are strange
> Roadhouse Blues
> LA Woman
> Light my fire
> The End
> Touch me
> Soul Kitchen
> Love Me Two Times
> Love Her Madly
yeah, sounds like they were a CIA band that sucked, which also wrote pretty much about love/heartbreak

At least John Lennon was honest about what he was about.

Not that he was right about everything or he wasn't part of it. People mimicked what they did because they were designed that way.

Sorry, I'm getting off the bus here. I love The Doors, and Jim Morrison is a fellow Irishman.
Yeah, his dad was an Admiral, and he didn't get along with this dad at all.
No shit, this is old news, it was in the biography "No One Here Gets Out Alive", so what?
imo The Doors were better than the Beatles, Stones, Dylan, Hendrix, etc.
