Hardly. Sure, musically they were... limited. But historically speaking, they were massive. Of course, being historically significant doesn't actually make the music better, but badly over-rated, I wouldn't say that. Besides, Morrison at his best is one of the greatest vocalists ever. If you don't get that, just try listening to Doors post-Morrison. I recommend keeping painkillers handy. That man quite literally turned crap into gold, and his performance on Back Door Man holds up in comparison with the classic blues howlers.

Not really a good example from the mans catalogue. You should never judge an artist by his or her hits, they're usually either the only good songs they have or the most irritating ones.
... saying that makes me feel like the biggest snob
