Singer / Frontman

These are two top notch world famous singers.
Great songs. Great fellow musicians.
One singer didn’t live so long, as the other, as we know.

Jim Morrison for me..

Jagger. Great showman and still in his advanced years the guy runs and jumps all over the stage. I've never understood the attraction of Jim Morrison.

I like them both in their heyday… (which was all of Morrison’s tenure). Jim was more unpredictable and crazy. While Jagger was a student of black entertainers.

I only own best-of collections by both of them.

That said, I prob listen to the Doors compilation more often than the Stones, so I guess I'd have to go with Morrison.

He was the unpredictable and lovable burnout.

Neither. Can't stand the Doors and just tolerate the Stones.

I hate the Stones, but do like a lot of Doors songs so I pick Jim.

Voted Jagger. But I am not a huge fan of these two bands.

Jim Morrison all the way

Mick

I went with Mick too.

I read a DOORS book ( there’s a few )
And when they played the Hollywood Bowl in 1968….
Mick Jagger was there….and was hanging out with Pamela.
Morrison’s girlfriend. And getting along. Having fun.
So Morrison took a hit of acid before the show.
Imagine that. A huge event for the DOORS.
So the two singers did cross paths.

It's Jagger. Morrison didn't have quarter of the charisma, and his catalogue ended up way too short to make this a fair comparison. He did a bunch of drugs, yes, and had that one video with eerie hand movement, but from what I understand, Morrison was mostly a very stiff live performer. While Jagger is... well, sort of a definition of a frontman. Frontman of arguably the greatest ever rock band.
