Beggars Banquet is a studio album by English rock band the Rolling Stones. It was released in December 1968 by Decca Records in the United Kingdom and London Records in the United States; it is the band's seventh British and ninth American studio album. The recording marked a change in direction for the band following the psychedelic pop of their previous two albums, Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request

Waiting for the Sun is the third studio album by the American rock band The Doors. It was released in 1968 and became the band's first and only number one album and spawned their second US number one single, "Hello, I Love You". It also became the band's first hit album in the UK, where it peaked at #16 in the chart. With the exception of two songs, the material for this album was written after the band's initial songs from the formation of the group had been recorded for their debut album and second album, Strange Days. The highlight of this album was supposed to be the lengthy theatrical piece "Celebration of the Lizard", but in the end only the "Not to Touch the Earth" section was used. The song "Waiting for the Sun" would not appear on an album until Morrison Hotel.

1967年9月25日，乐队推出第二张专辑Strange Days，借着第一张专辑的气势，这张专辑在2周后就上升Billboard榜的第4位，在以后几周内，The Doors的两张专辑都在排行榜的前10位。这张专辑中仍延续了第一张专辑的风格。充满幻想意味的Moonlight Drive以阴沉介绍式的低呤开头，节奏明快的Love Me Two Times，都是The Doors的名曲，最后一首又是长达11分钟的歌曲When the Music´s Over 。Jim Morrison幽暗地唱到，当音乐结束时，一切都已结束。不再有宏大的舞台，不再有欢呼的人群。不再有诗歌，不再有迈阿密姑娘。不再有凯鲁亚克和金斯伯格，不再有兰波和魏伯伦。不再吸毒，不再酗酒，不再乱交。因为我已进入死亡之门。通过这首歌曲就可以看出对于Jim Morrison来说摇滚代表的就是诗歌，而诗歌却与生命相连。

Definitely Maybe于1994年由Sony公司发行，其中多首出现在他们发行前一年同The Real People乐队的Chris和Tony Griffiths一起录制的Live Demonstration demo中。正式发行版本的歌曲要比较长，他们与 Mark Coyle 一起录制3遍，直到Owen Morris 出现并混音制作到大家满意为止。整张专集总共花费8万5千英镑在制作上，在当时是相当大的投资。这张专辑的销售量也非常好，受到了很多听众的欣赏和好评。
