I like the Doors ok, but they're pretty hit and miss as far as my preference. I like some stuff, and I hate others. I have similar feelings about Pink Floyd. I like creativity, but sometimes the complexity is too much. Most of the stuff I like is fairly simplistic, but the musical talent is pretty good. Hence, I don't like stuff like NIN, Tool, etc, etc.
I think the current state of music is pathetic, to be honest. This may sound banal, but the only thing I'm into in mainstream rock is The Killers. I'm also a bit of a Jack White fan. Most of what I listen to these days that is current is either Texas country, some variation of bluegrass (OCMS, Nickel Creek, Yonder Mountain String Band), and some jam thrown in. I really hate the "I'm gonna kill myself, I'm not a conformist" type stuff, which eliminates about 75% of popular rock. I dunno, I mean there is talent out there, but my playlist generally reads like a Cameron Crow soundtrack.
