Top 10 albums of 1968

With Jimi Hendrix's "Electric Ladyland" celebrating its 40th anniversary on October 16, and three other landmark classic rock albums set to celebrate their 40th anniversary in November: The Beatles "White Album," The Kinks "Village Green Preservation Society," and Van Morrison's "Alstral Weeks," I thought I'd count down my top 10 albums from the year 1968.

10. "Truth" by the Jeff Beck Group
9. "Odessey and Oracle" by The Zombies
8. "Wheels Of Fire" by Cream
7. "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" by the Byrds
6. "Beggars Banquet" by the Rolling Stones
5. "Astral Weeks" by Van Morrison
4. "Music From Big Pink" by The Band
3. "The Village Green Preservation Society" by the Kinks
2. "Electric Ladyland" by the Jimi Hendrix Experience
1. "The Beatles" by the Beatles

Tough call but my top three would probably looks like this:

3. Electric Ladyland - Hendrix
2. Waiting for the Sun - The Doors
1. White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground

The order of those three can change on any given day. They are all classics...

Great choices. Hard to beat Electric Ladyland.
