Hi my top 5 songs tend to change around but generally work around these ones Peace frog People are strange The wasp My wild love The end Break on through L A Woman favourite album i would say Morrison hotel just about wins it for me Quote Where's your will to be weird man ? and yes I have heard An American Prayer it's the only album I could not get on vinyl so had to settle for a CD and my personal opinion is he had a gift when it came to word play and with such a vast vocabulary to chose from the gifts just kept on coming.

Jim Morrison very well could have been a sociopath.

He was mostly just an alcoholic. He had his lucid moments and he was a smart and talented guy but in the end he just became an out-of-control alcoholic. Sad, really.

He was critical of many aspects of the culture of the time but I don't see that as being 'sociopathic', just wanting change by making social commentary. It's a fine line perhaps but I think that a lot of the counter-culture movements of the time, of which he was a part, as being driven by conscience not by lack of conscience.

I don't think he was ever a sociopath

I think he was just a very complex minded and deeply emotional human being

when you throw drugs and alcohol into a mix like that the consequences cannot be predicted

In morrisons i think he really wanted to push the boundaries through his music but he was a deeply spiritual person and i think he believed he himself needed to act a certain way to accomplish what he set out

I wouldn't necessarily completely disregard sociopath ,i mean if u hear stories about his life and certain events but overall he was just a seriously deep thinker,very well read and complex individual who wanted to express his art through himself and project the image he felt was nesceassry

I'm a massive doors fan too and morrison is a figure who really struck me when i discovered them

no, Jim was not just an alcoholic, there is more to his behaviour, than just alcohol, Jim's biographies, show, he displayed certain behaviours that were independent of his drinking. Jim was, a risk taker, from at least his teens, he also, displayed, a desire to, shock, provoke. all, the behaviours that Jim, became famous, were, an integral part of his personality, before he became a rock star. Its very obvious, if you read his bio. One of his college friends, said if you knew Jim you knew he would not live long, because he was such a risk taker. he also could be a bully, and manipulate.

He was an alcoholic and like most alcoholics he was naturally self desructive.

He was a drunk who had "father" issues & wrote bad poetry.
