What made the doors unique?

The Doors were perhaps one of the most unconventional Los Angeles bands of the 1960s because they didn’t fit into the surf-music scene or the folk-rock craze.

They were self-regarding, overblown pseudo-hippies that appeared interesting largely because their singer was either drunk or on acid, or both. I don’t dispute the band’s influence on some terrific performers, from Iggy Pop to Patti Smith.
