You just need to accept that the popularity of progarchives has grown significantly from the early days. It's only natural that the new members tend to be of younger age. They may not have much in common with you, and Progarchives may not be the "playground" for you and your buddies it once were. Just accept the fact and adapt to the situation.

Choose the topics you wish to participate in and leave the others alone. That's what I do, and it works for me pretty well. Smile
Good advice, and I generally try to follow that rule.
 
But I'd certainly be happier here, and feel more at home, were I a metal fan, and perhaps 20-30 years younger. Ermm

I, too, like both bands but I believe that Cream had more influence on young musicians at the time because Clapton showed that guitarists could break out of the 30-second lead-break mindset and go with the flow into more freeform and extended jams.  The Doors were more of a social phenomenon and made music that expanded the consciousness of the general public.  But it's hard to deny that Cream paved the way for groups like Led Zep and even Zappa to explore the uncharted lands of guitar-based progressive rock.

I think they are both great bands, and I try to keep my opinions of them seperate but in a poll like this I probably would go for The Doors. Jim Morrison has some great lyrics, and so does Cream, but I like Jim Morrison's lyrics better. Don't get me wrong I like Cream as well.

   these two bands shouldn't be compared, their music is too different IMHO.

Too different? They were both blues influenced bands and Psychedelia (i think). The Doors were not as Psychedelic but it was still there.
