The Doors. The Velvet Underground.

Very innovative and creative bands.

thanks dr. obvious.

wait, sorry that was wrong... ha, a woman doctor!

but on a less jackass-note, thank you even though those suggestions weren't great.

what are you talking about they weren't that great.

The Doors--don't listen to their popular, "Light My Fire" bullshit... check out their lesser known songs like The Wasp or even somewhat known like, "People Are Strange". Also you are visual, the imagery in "Moonlight Drive" is pure poetry. And the use of keyboards as a substitute for bass was pretty novel at the time.

The Velvet Underground lead the way for experimental and punk rock.

What exactly are you listening too? I was thinking you would get the basics down.

what i meant by dr. obvious was that i am OBVIOUSly going to listen to those bands... they are OBVIOUS reccomendations. but thank you.

not for everyone. some people shy away from both of them after listening to a few songs.

Also.

The Rolling Stones are pretty mediocre. Sure they are fun rock music, but they are fun in the same way that AC/DC is fun to certain people. Not really a lot of substance or complexity in the music.

still, the rolling Stones are better than the Beatles. I never wanted to fall asleep listening to the Stones.
