The problem with a thread like this is that you don't have a valid comparison; it's really difficult to judge the music of the Doors without the controversy that Morrison caused. I could never call the Doors the greatest R&R band- they're just not; they may not even be a significant R&R band; compitent, yes, great, maybe the best, NO!
My vote for the most IMPORTANT Rock & Roll entity (band or individual) would have to be a tie between Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly; it's been said that if Buddy Holly had lived, the Beatles would never have made the splash they did; I believe that, Buddy was just getting started when he ied.
