    Great video, very insightful.
    Any chance you could do one on Jim Morrison's literary influences? Think it would make for a really interesting video

    He did once say he was bored with the conventional use of words in songs and he was interested in an alternative

    I'm suprised you didn't mention his gustav holst influence, especially when you mentioned his sci fi influences.

    I love Hunky Dorey and Station to Station. But in terms of songs, I would probably say Heroes, Station to Station, and Quicksand. It's really hard to say for sure. How about yourself?

    • @TheSelador

      I've been told this is controversial but I honestly think Five Years is his best song. Such a great opener.

      Songs - Aladdin sane, big brother, John I’m only dancing, right, my death and candidate. I love all his songs for different reasons. If find it hard to say I don’t have a song from all of his albums on my play list.
