The Doors Vs. David Bowie – Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame Round One

You want a battle of big names to kick off the second monthly Ultimate Classic Rock Hall of Fame election? OK... How about the Doors vs. David Bowie? Each month, our readers will determine which of eight legendary artists or bands is immortalized forever for their contributions to classic rock history.

We don't envy your choice this time out. With an unconventional, bass-less lineup fronted by charismatic, controversial frontman Jim Morrison, the Doors brought an unparalleled sense of mystery and poetry to rock and roll on classic albums such as their self-titled 1967 debut and their 1971 swan song 'L.A. Woman.'

Then again, no conversation about the pioneers of theatrical rock and roll would be complete without Mr. Ziggy Stardust / Aladdin Sane / Thin White Duke himself. Of course, as this list of the Top 10 David Bowie Songs shows, this legend's 45-year and counting career is about much, much more than groundbreaking visuals and a one-of-a-kind fashion sense.
