Which musicians released these classic albums in 1968?

Can you put a name to these album covers?

 

It's hard to say what was the best single year for pop music. But one can make a very strong case for 1968. Rock & roll evolved into all sorts of new forms. Albums became long artistic statements. Soul music stretched out. Guilty-pleasure bubblegum bubbled to the top of the charts. And all the old legends were still making records.

We've gathered some of the classic records from 1968. They're all considered some of the best in recorded history. So, do you know who released them? We'll show you some album cover artwork. You name the group or musician. Good luck!
