Preferring X (hard to think of a more dreary, thin-gruel example of rock + poetry) to Doors is typical contorted logic of your Jimophobe
It's opting for failed pretension over fully achieved pretension
The first time I ever came across the opinion that Jim Morrison was a pretentious asshole it was a complete ambush, it never once occurred to me this was a conceivable opinion (especially as rock and popular music of many genres is littered with pretentious assholes, pseudo-visionaries, figures with a seer complex - it's really by the by - indeed it's often a catalyst - the yeast - or Yeats - that leads to magnificence)
The guy with this opinion was holding forth, jeering at Jim, describing the Doors as hogwash, etc
