When you look at our songs, we sing kind of more blues-oriented songs. We idolize bands like The Doors and The Rolling Stones. Our sound is often compared to The Doors and Tom Waits and Coldplay. We hope our music is acceptable, but we play music that we love, we really do. And because we play music that we love, we find that other people like our music, too.
Now I enjoy their music as much as the next person - I think it's fun & quirky & interesting. They are all very talented & really good at what they do. But compared to The Doors... really? REALLY?! I remember thinking, while I was watching the Ugly Girl video, that I heard what sounded like a Moog synthesizer in the background & I went "Hey, they're using a Moog, just like The Doors! Nice!" I know other bands have used that sound, too, but I always associate it with The Doors, because I love them. =P I can honestly say that, after listening to a lot of 100 Monkeys songs, I did not make the connection. Their sound is unique in & of itself, but it certainly ain't The Doors quality. Sorry. I still loves you, 100 Monkeys, but no, I don't see it... or hear it, as the case may be. And so, just because I can, I present you with some of my favorite songs by The Doors...
I f*cking ADORE this song!
Magnificently epic...
Hope you enjoyed The Doors as much as I do! If you didn't listen to them all, what are you waiting for? ;)

I do enjoy the 100 Monkey's, but I have to agree, they don't / can't compare to the greatness that is The Doors :)
I can the connection as far as genres, but actual work, hmm, few and far songs apart could be likened I'm afriad.
I think their disscussion between their musical influences and their actual music was some how lost in translation ~
Intertesting and awesome post once again hon :)
