In 1968, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were at the top of their game. Aretha Franklin released two great records. The Kinks , The Byrds and Van Morrison put out some of their best work, too.

Furthermore, in 2021, Rolling Stone created the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list. “Wichita Lineman” came in right at the middle of the pack, as Rolling Stone ranked the song at No. 206.
