He benefitted from some phenomenal musicians, and his music was a product of it's time, which are two big reasons why John Fogerty's solo career never quite took off. But Jim and John are two of the best American songwriters of all time and both of their original groups have held up.No doubt...and I'll be "that guy". Morrison was a bit overrated.
In the end he created an atmosphere of despair, loneliness, of dead ends, of exhaustion. His imitators ranged from Nick Cave to Kurt Cobain to Adam Ant to Glenn Danzig to Trent Reznor.
