The Doors

The Doors were one of the most successful, popular, and influential bands of all time despite their shortlived status. Most of their albums were certified. The Best of the Doors went diamond. They had numerous hit singles, two going gold. They have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They were inducted their first year of eligibility, an obvious choice. After frontman Jim Morrison died of heart failure in 1971 the band tried to continue without him, securing a hit album and a platinum album before breaking up. They had a notable influence on goth rock and post punk. They were inducted by Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam.
