The Doors.
One of the most overrated bands, EVER. Jim Morrison was a good looking man, I'll agree, and he had a good voice- but their songs were utter shit.

My test for a song is whether or not I can sit down with the lyrics and read them aloud without sounding like a complete idiot. The Doors fail that test, badly. Even if you read it as poetry, bongo drums and all, their stuff is still awful.

Jim Morrison was not a poet. He was a drug addled twit.

mis-spelling
Was twit the right word?

No, I meant to use twit.
Although I suppose twat is just as appropriate... but I hadn't used the word twit in a while.

Try reading this with a straight face
I tell you it's impossible

I met him at a party and my heart stood still
Da Doo Ron Ron Ron,
Da Doo Ron Ron.
Somebody told me that his name was Bill.
Da Doo Ron Ron Ron,
Da Doo Ron Ron.
Yes, My heart stood still.
Yes, his name was Bill.
And, when he walked me home:
Da Doo Ron Ron Ron,
Da Doo Ron Ron.
