Hi Jacob and list,

Here I disagree with your disagreement!  :-)

Music is not simply melody - it also tempo and rhythm and orchestration
and accent.  When I hear the chords from "Sunshine of Your Love" at a
chaseneh, they are always delivered identically in all ways to the way
they appear in the original recording.  And as many people will agree -
the essence of rock *is* tempo and rhythm, not melody.  
The melody itself of "Light My Fire" may nor may not be suitable for
other uses, but to play it in a similar fashion to the way the Doors did
it is to play rock, pure and simple, with all the associations that that
sort of rock number has.
