Iggy Pop's wildman status and on-stage antics were in no small part inspired by one of the true legends of the American rock music scene - it was at a concert for the Doors where Pop soaked in their front man's exuberant personality and tweaked it for his own acts. Jim Morrison and his band the Doors have become somewhat infused in popular culture since the man's death in 1971, while their influence on the music that was to come cannot be understated. Morrison's poetic lyrics and smooth baritone voice have often been mimicked but never bettered while few other rock stars embodied the counterculture movement of the time quite so iconically. LSD was the clear drug of choice, as anyone who knows the history of the band's name will be aware of - the Doors named themselves after the pioneering book by Aldous Huxley studying psychedelic drugs, The Doors Of Perception.
