Whether or not the bands that the Doors inspired are shitty is irrelevant; the fact is, the Arcade Fire have not really innovated on anything, nor represented a rise of any particular genre, or influenced anyone (yet). As such, do they deserve the title of 'Best Band Ever' on any level?

Not to  mention they have  one album, and as such there isn't nearly enough of a catalog to truly judge them by.

I'm fine with them being there, but they should definately not be winning.  Though, actually, come to think of it, they beat out bands like The Talking Heads and My Bloody Valentine to make it there, but I suppose I can forgive that.  Just not the Doors beating.

See, I didn't really think they should be on there considering a lot of bands that didn't make it- but I'm really not much of a Doors fan and Funeral is still one of the best albums of the past few years.  This is one instance where I'm cool with voting for the new over the classic.

The Talking Heads beating is worse, IMO...

I am incredibly bitter that Sonic Youth is getting knocked out in Round 1 because they're up against the Beatles.

The Velvet Underground is superior to the Doors on every conceivable level.

glad you fixed that, Storm. I was concerned for a second.

Also I would like to point out that the combination of Sailor Moon and faux-Kerouac / Sonic Youth spelling is perhaps the purest distillation of what this forum is that we have yet been presented with.

There's no real justification for why the Doors and Velvet Underground are currently tied. VU trump the Doors at every turn, and the only good lasting effect from the rise of the Doors was that it allowed Ray Manzereck to use his pull to get X signed.
