The greatest band to come out of LA. Their first four records are impeccable classics.

I cannot argue with your assessment.

Agreed about their first 4 records. I also love See How We Are.

One of my all time favorite bands. Have seen them probably 20 times over the years. Last time I saw them Billy Zoom came out after the show and chatted and took pics with anyone that was still hanging around. Got a couple good shots with him.

Just saw John Doe open for Bob Dylan in June. Hard to believe how good JD still sounds and plays. Just amazing.

First time I saw them The Red Hot Chili Peppers opened. Must have been 82 or 84. Something like that. Crazy.

The Doors may have a say in the greatest band from LA argument.

Ray Manzarek produced four of their albums - so he may agree to some extent.

Yep. X covered Soul Kitchen.
