This message board alone pretty much proves that whether you're a die hard fan, or would like to go back in time to kill little baby morrison you can not deny that The Doors, as well as Jim Morrison made a huge impact on rock and roll.
I mean just think of all the bands that existed at the same time as The Doors, many of which may have been far more talented than the above mentioned, yet The Doors are still a pretty household kind of name. Sure you may not know any of their song titles, or album names, but the band name, The Doors is pretty well known by a lot of fucking people.
Now that I think we should all be able to appresiate.
Pat Boone is a pretty well known name too. 
My final word: the Doors were great, then good, then decent, then shit, shit, shit, shit. Like so many other bands. What bothers most people about them I think is the number of times they've had to hear some stoner with four remaining brain cells rhapsodize over "Riders on the Storm" and "Light My Fire".

Opinions are like assholes; everyone's got one and all but mine stink.
Jim Morrison was an amazing poet who was fortunate to have three great musicians as friends. He was Elvis in lizard-skinned jeans.
John Densmore played his drums with a special touch that few drummers can grasp. He didn't have to pound away and smash it up, he could barely touch them and convey a beat.
Robbie Krieger worked magic with his guitar. "Spanish Caravan," anyone? Or perhaps "Waiting for the Sun?"
Ray Manzarek could play boogie and switch to a dirge and still play the bass pedals with his feet, all while keeping up with a dervish of a singer.
And as far as not rocking, man, throw on "Morrison Hotel," suckle a bottle of your favorite brown booze, and dare your feet not to move.
Alright so I'm listening to "morrison hotel" and i'm drinking some sort of brown alcoholic liquid.
i clear my throat: "I dare you to not move feet!"
ha! take tha...........ah crap...............they're moving.
mmmmmmm............ this song fucking rocks.
