The Doors Vs. Creedence Clearwater: a Hippie/Music Enthusiast's Poll

We need a distraction.

I have decided to provide one in a poll that will (hopefully) not be as unbalanced as the last one I posted. Anyone who has heard both Creedence Clearwater and The Doors should qualify for a vote.

I gotta go with Creedence myself. The Doors were good; their debut album was amazing, and they did some great songs after that, but overall I just don't think they made it as well as Creedence Clearwater. Creedence did some of the best hippie blues I have ever heard, and I believe that, of all the groups I like right now, they are the one that will last the longest, with the possible exception of Floyd.

Edit: crap- how do I edit a poll question? The last question is supposed to say "I HATE you", not "I ATE you".

CCR all they way. Although i'm not sure about saying CCR was hippie, but its all good. Never just could get into the doors music style.

i'd probably take ccr.. but neither interest me much. i want a "meh" option!

you spelled hate wrong and ccr

Gotta go Doors. Both are good, though.

One of my favorite Simpsons moments comes when Marge asks Homer to do CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation) and he breaks out in a rendition of 'Bad Moon Risin'

ichi ~:cheers:

of course, i voted Gah!

The Doors definately.

Oh and your a freaking hippy and I hate you, leave the tavern. ~;)

Two pretty different bands. CCR was raw and basic band as compared to the doors. But then that was their strength. No fancy instruments or orchestras. Just good old rock and roll. The Doors were more subliminal and intricate. Plus I think far more physchodelic.

I voted the Doors because they're more 'original', while CCR just made (very) good solid rock. I enjoy both though.

Doors all the way!
don't ask me why but I just enjoy them more.

I agree with that.

And I never ate meatwad. ~:)

Didn't really think of CCR as very hippie... ~:handball:

Nowadays The Polyphonic Spree spread some good vibes. :bow:

Doors. I love CCR, I think their a great band. But I like the Doors more. Not sure why, just do.
Although I'm not sure how good the Doors would have been without Jim Morrison... but then again the current version of CCR sucks withouth John Fogerty.
And I see CCR as hippies. They were close to the San Fransico scene... But they aren't as physchadelic as most of those guys. But they were pretty damn hippie.

You're the expert! :bow:
I'm too young, and the length of my hair is one of your earth inches. ~:)

I'm going to go with The Doors, although I'm a big CCR fan-Creedence never did anything to match 'The End'.

Ccr

Damn it, who voted "Meatwad, I hate you" and didn't admit it? Come out of hiding, you bastard! :furious3:

I did my meaty friend but only becuase you refute my moral ideals you stinkin hippie :furious3: ~D

Okay... I was just making sure noone had a real animosity towards me.

Hell, I'm only 17. ~;)

I think that Gawain summed it up the best (he was the real hippie, believe it or not ~;) )

Well back in the day we saw them more as rednecks. Their first song was pretty psychodelic though, Susie Q.

I always really like the CCR covers of 'I heard it on the grapevine' and 'I put a spell on you'. Really good versions of the songs.

Huh. Well I stand corrected. But I see them more hippie than say the Who, or some other contemporaries. But you'd know better than I would. :bow:

I think you'll find that The Who were a mod band.

Well yeah, that's what I mean. They weren't hippies. ~;)

You said more hippie, which I took to mean that you thought The Who were hippies-just not very extreme ones. ~;)

It's a weird subculture, Moddism. I've never quite understood it.

No, Pete Townsend is too pissed off to be a hippie. ~D
And I also have never gotten the whole mods and rockers thingy.

The Doors did 'The End', so they win by default.

And BKS, being a Mod was all about riding a moped and wearing a completely new fashion every week. Any attempt to analyse it further will only result in your brain imploding. FYI, The Who themselves weren't mods. Mods just liked them. They say so in the story on the Quadrophenia sleeve notes.
