Notable Omissions: Miles Davis; Reason – the tracks on Filles de Kilmanjaro are just too long. Rascals; Reason – I’m lazy and haven’t ripped them to my server yet. Bee Gees, Waylon Jennings, Mason Williams; Reason – I Don’t have these. Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terell; Reason – I have heard the song too many times (Yes, even I have my limits).

Can you think of any other artists with music from 1968 who I have neglected to include? And can you tell me which artist is conspicuously absent because of not releasing anything in 1968?
