The Doors took their name from Aldous Huxley's work and a Blake quote. Which band is this?

• A. The Doors
• B. The Beatles
• C. The Velvet Underground
• D. Led Zeppelin

Answer: (A)

The name comes from a literary lineage: Aldous Huxley's The Doors of Perception, which borrows a line from William Blake in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. The Doors, formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, embraced that reference because the idea of doors opening onto new ways of seeing fit their music and Morrison’s outlook. That’s why this band is the correct one for the clue. The other groups don’t share that specific Blake/Huxley naming origin.
