I only saw them live once.They played in a drugged haze. Morrison was so stoned he could barely walk across the stage and rambled his way through the songs, occasionally breaking into a high-pitched scream, but that's how he was most of the time. Hendrix was better live but not long after I saw them, they were both dead.

They wrote some memorable songs, which have lasted the test of time.

I remember the end more than the beginning or the bits in between.

I didn’t listen to much of their music at the time to be honest. I’ve listened to the Best of recently and still felt a bit meh about some of their stuff. I much prefer the English stuff from that period. A few years back I did have a cool version of Carmina Burana by Carl Orff recorded by Ray Manzarek if you are into classical music rocked up?

You have listed some of my favourite tracks of theirs there.

In the 90’s there was a tribute band - the Australian doors. I saw them a couple of times, they were good.

I saw the Australian Doors in Perth around the time the Oliver Stone film The Doors came out and again a few years later at Sheffield Uni they were fantastic. Billy idol went for the lead part but they gave it Val Kilmer instead and he got a smaller part.

Interestingly I fell in love in Perth that night with lead singer of this band who also played on same bill.

Nick, you have been to a hell of a lot of live gigs- much more than I have. So, who were the legendary solo artists and bands that stood out for you?

To be honest, most of my life, apart from my teens and early 20s, I've preferred classical music so, except for a few really outstanding musicians, I view most of them as light entertainment I only listen to when I'm driving.

I used to like classical music which is what led me to prog rock. Went to many gigs by ELP, Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant etc. in the 70’s. Never got to see the awesome Nice in the 60’s but was lucky enough to see them in 2004 when Keith Emerson took them and his own band on the road for a mixture of Nice and ELP classics.

Back to The Doors. Which is their best album? I will give it a listen tomorrow.

Most of the bands I have liked have been outside the mainstream and only ever had a limited following,

I loved the Smiths, New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen i saw them a lot in the 1980's but the big halls weren't about then so the gigs were still quite intimate in ballrooms like the Top Rank or Hammersmith Palais.

The Stranglers were another favourite for me.

But it's hard to have an overall favourite, I find that my musical life has been divided into segments

1972- 77 Pre punk

1977-79 Punk

79-84 - post punk

84-90 - indie

After 1990 things became a lot less style led and more acceptable to like anything.

Top favourite bands you wont have heard of.

The Brilliant Corners
Shack
Pele
Amsterdam
Eyeless in Gaza
Camper Van Beethoven
Cracker
Accrington Stanley
Western Promise

Don’t delete it, it is interesting. The ELP gig was in Plymouth, right? I didn’t get to see them until 1972 at the Hammersmith Odeon. I eventually got to meet both Greg Lake and Carl Palmer, sadly never Keith Emerson. My neighbour’s brother used to live next door to him in Chiddingly and has told me lots of stories about him. Sounds like a really cool guy. Sad about his suicide. I don’t go to many classical concerts although we usually go to the annual classical concert at Leeds Castle.

You're spot on there, Nick - I haven't heard of most of them.

Our pop music tastes are very much driven by our age whereas classical music should, in theory, be for everyone but to be honest most of the audiences, including me, are in what Boris would term his 'nearly dead' category.

I'll give Camper van Beethoven and Accrington Stanley a try on YouTube.

I met John Peel at a music festival. He was with Andy Kershaw, who was a really nice bloke.

I quite like my first Camper van Beethoven song, They sound like an English version of Talking Heads.

Amsterdam were fantastic, liked them best when Genevieve was the lead female vocalist. Attitunes is one of my favourite albums.
Pele as well.... you’re an Ian prowse fan then
Have you been watching his lockdown Facebook shows each Friday?

Amsterdam played the joiners the day we were relegated in 2005 if I remember correctly.
