10 Bands Destroyed By Just One Album
8. Other Voices - The Doors
The Doors were one of the most beautifully weird bands to come out of the 60's. With their mix of jazz, blues, and avant garde, the band were great at channeling other moods all while frontman Jim Morrison entranced the audience with every turn. After Morrison's tragic death, it was clear the Door's mystique was gone forever...right?
As opposed to leaving the band alone, the remaining members of the Doors got back together after Morrison's death and decided to continue on as a three-piece under the Doors name. With Other Voices, the band tried their hardest to still keep the integrity of the Doors alive and well, if only in a studio setting.
Despite the band's good intentions, the idea of them continuing without Jim Morrison is a near impossible vision for any rock fan. While pianist Ray Manzarek has a decent voice across the record, he doesn't even come close to matching the intensity and charisma that Morrison exuded naturally. While the musical foundation of each track is solid, the band are really a shadow of what they were in their prime. Though the band would release one more record, it was clear that the initial allure that made the Doors irresistible had been lost forever.
