10 Albums That Were Hated Before They Even Came Out

10. Other Voices - The Doors

The entire vibe of the Doors as a band pretty much relied on the star power and charisma of Jim Morrison. While the rest of the band were more than capable of grooving in genres such as jazz, blues, and down and dirty rock and roll, the spiritual poetry of Morrison really set them apart from every hippy band on the scene, giving you the darker side of Flower Power. When Jim was found dead though, fans thought that the band would die with them...but no one gave the other members that memo.

Although the magic was clearly gone, Other Voices is the sound of the band trying to make it work without Jim, with both Ray Manzarak and Robbie Krieger filling in for him on vocals. While the band had certainly been responsible for most of the musical input from day one, it's clear that there's something missing in every single one of these songs, especially when the lyrics take a real nose dive on songs like I'm Horny I'm Stoned.

Although there's the makings of a good Doors album here, there was no way that the fanbase was going to accept a version of the band without the Lizard King, not sticking around for much longer and the original lineup calling it a day after just one more record. Jim might not have been able to play note on any instrument, but once you take away his presence, all you're left with is a few decent blues licks that should have been left on the cutting room floor of a jam session.
