Heh. Yeah, we have three of their albums. (The Doors, Strange Days, Legacy)

I actually still remember the first Doors song I ever heard was Roadhouse Blues. Somehow, I had that song on a cassette tape with some other songs that weren't Doors songs. I was listening to that tape one day and someone I knew at the time walked in the room and heard Roadhouse Blues playing and he said to me, "Jim Morrison died before you were born". He might have just been saying that to inform me, but his tone of voice seemed to imply that he felt I should be listening to more "current" music.

Growing up in the 80's, there was a lot of pop/crap aimed at my age group that I just didn't care for (like New Kids on the Block and Paula Abdul), so I'd often "jump through hoops" to find better music and I always felt like I was the only person I knew who liked the types of music I'd find. For example, the same person from the above story once gave me a bunch of old writable cassette tapes he didn't want any more for use with our Commodore VIC 20. Instead of using them for that purpose, I decided to see what was on them. One was almost a complete bootleg of the ELO "Out of the Blue" album and that was how I was introduced to ELO. I kept that for years until I finally bought an actual ELO cassette tape because it was wearing out. Another tape I remember had Queen songs on it, including Bohemian Rhapsody, so I knew about that song even before the Wayne's World movie "reintroduced" it to my generation.
