Agreed, mostly, but this is a little unfair to Morrison. To amplify Bilmore's point a bit, Morrison was ROCK STAR when he first started doing what he was doing, and that certainly has to go into the equation of what makes a great band. He was way out there for the time. I kind of dig the whole Lizard King schtick. The thing is, we have all seen the second half of the The Doors movie, and so it is hard to filter out the Fat Elvis part of Morrison, The Later Years. But was he any more embarrasing than Perry Farrell or Jerry Garcia? Good call on Jane's, by the way. I don't know about top ten, but certainly a contender.
