Best Albums of 1968
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.

The Beatles (White Album)Thirty songs, four solo careers running in parallel, and a sprawl that is the point rather than the flaw.
The Papas & the MamasDarker, stranger and more ambitious than the hits suggest, and audibly the work of a broken group.
A Saucerful of SecretsA band losing its songwriter and covering the gap with texture. The title suite works, the rest wanders.
