Having been born in 1962, and liking and listening to music from the early sixties onward, I thought it might be fun to attempt a listing of my favorite albums each year since birth.

The initial post for this series of ideas began on December 26th, 2023.  You can look it up....

This time, I present my top fifty records I really appreciate and enjoy, released in 1968.

Despite most of these records being non-commercial, I have grown to appreciate these a great deal.
