The Doors Vs. Pink Floyd – Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame Finals

The final round of the June 2013 Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame voting pits the Doors vs. Pink Floyd in a truly epic match-up. Each month, our readers will determine which of eight legendary artists or bands is immortalized forever for their contributions to classic rock history.

The Doors, who blended rock, jazz, soul, pop and blues behind frontman Jim Morrison's moody poetry, lost to the Beatles in last month's finals. They're making the most of their second chance this month, trouncing the Velvet Underground by a nearly nine-to-one margin in round one, and Van Morrison by nearly the same tally in the semifinals.

Their final battle will undoubtedly be the toughest. Pink Floyd are one of the most important bands in classic rock history. They were pioneers of the psychedelic movement, and did more to elevate the idea of the full-length album as an art form than just about any other group. They defeated Janis Joplin handily in round one, and narrowly edged out Jimi Hendrix last week in round two.
