I like the Doors a lot but I don't really see much influence they've had on music that came after them, at least not to the same extent as most other famous artists of the era. With such a unique sound, why have they not been copied as frequently?
What influence have the Doors had on music?

Jonathan Evans
Jim Morrison singlehandedly created the archetypal rock star persona. Parts of it had been exemplified among various frontmen before, but he brought it all together.
Kayden Perry
jim's charisma as frontman made an impression on iggy pop as the stooges were getting off the ground, for one example
Joseph Perez
pretty much this.
Jim Morrison was the first real rockstar
Evan Allen
I know this, but I meant the band's sound itself. You don't really see anything emulated about this band except for Jim Morrison's whole image
Jonathan Hughes
i think they had an influence on goth rock and prog
Gabriel Martinez
Nico was very inspired by him. released an entire album named after the final song in their s/t album. Her sound overall is very influenced by The End.
all prog rock that used keyboards/ organs is pretty much because of them too, along with other psychedelic rock bands like Spirit.
Like Nirvana, Public Enemy, and Throbbing Gristle, they created/translated an entire aesthetic out of their music.
Thomas Bailey
The Doors did a lot for rock incorporating jazz (and bossa nova and latin) elements. Krieger and Manzarek and Densmore did some things a lot of musicians looked up to.
Also Morrison's psychedelic and dangerous lyricism. Look at bands like Steely Dan doing similar things with lyricism and jazz and rock. His persona also in various ways fed into the music, it had a general sense of danger and mystery not much music dared to veer into before.
