I agree that Krieger's abilities should have garnered more praise. I'm sure you are already aware that he was originally trained as a classical guitarist, picking up the electric a mere few months prior to the release of the Doors' self-titled debut album. He has really managed to stay out of the spotlight since the early 1970's. He always struck me as a half-casualty to the psychedelic times he lived through. Some of us don't come back--half of Robby did! When asked for a quote for this thread, Krieger sent the following: "Now where did I put the rest of my personality? Oh, it's over there with Syd and Janis! Guess I won't be getting that back anytime soon!"
