    Saucerful of Secrets. Quite possibly the best second album ever.

    Scott 2 - Scott Walker
    Anthem of the Sun - The Grateful Dead
    Child is Father to the Man - Blood, Sweat and Tears
    Traffic - Traffic
    Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf

    Plus
    Ogdens Nut Gone Flake - Small Faces - One of the greatest albums of any year!! (edit: just noticed Charlton Road James beat me to it - goes without saying that I agree!!)

    What a year 1968 was!!

    First VDGG album was this year although I'd not really call it a 'great' album. Opening and closing tracks are quite something though

    So many popular bands released their debut albums that year: VDGG already mentioned but also This Was by Jethro Tull, Shades Of Deep Purple (and The Book of Talliesyn), Fleetwood Mac, 2 albums by The Steve Miller Band and plenty more. None of them would be labeled as classics, though.

    I'll add Spirit by Spirit as a top album for '68.
