Hmmm...I'd argue his notoriety and 'erotic politics' sometimes overshadowed his talent. Furthermore, Elektra never really gave him and the rest of The Doors the real unbridled, uncensored opportunity to show off the full force of their creativity--but that was true of just about everyone else in those days. Probably Jethro Tull, The Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin got away with more than anyone else. Maybe Black Sabbath too. The American artists were treated especially bad by their labels--Zappa & The Mothers, The Velvet Underground and MC5 in particular.
