Strokes vs. Doors

Any resemblance between them is not mere coincidence. Regarding the previous post, I have just come across Julian Casablancas' quote*: «Put simply, because of The Doors, I chose music as my life path. I was actually drawn by the instrumentation primarily, as well as by Jim Morrison of course. As musicians I found them to be unique and masterful. Their songs, as well as the atmosphere and intensity they created, had a tremendous impact on me growing up.» I have this feeling that, if I was born ten years later, I would have had my bedroom walls covered with posters of this other J.

The Strokes, 2001
