The Soft Parade is the fourth studio album by American rock band the Doors, released on July 18, 1969, by Elektra Records.

Rothchild recommended a total departure from the Doors' first three albums: develop a fuller sound by incorporating brass and string arrangements provided by Paul Harris. Lead singer Jim Morrison, who was dealing with personal issues and focusing more on his poetry, was less involved in the songwriting process, allowing guitarist Robby Krieger to increase his own creative output.

Hit and Run is the fifth studio album by the American rock band T.S.O.L., released in 1987 through Enigma Records.

Hit and Run was T.S.O.L.'s only release to chart, reaching no. 184 on the Billboard 200, but the band's new direction alienated their fans in vast numbers and was criticized by reviewers.
