Best of 1968

1968, in a nutshell, was more or less 1967 redux. The psychedelia got weirder and more chaotic and the pop became more catchy and formulaic, but the thing that was most absent from the year was a sense of musical progression. Of course, the flower power spirit that possessed 1967 wasn’t something that was likely to dissipate in a single year, and I’m definitely glad that it stuck around. 1968 gave us another year of incredibly strong singles, and a slew of almost-great albums. The most personally significant aspect of this year is that the seeds that eventually grew to be Metal were put into the ground by bands like Blue Cheer and Gun. Overall year rating: 3.5/5
