The chaos of 1968 continued well after the deaths of Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy. With the Democratic presidential race in turmoil, Richard Nixon rises as the eventual winner of the election. This is of course after the disastrous riots at the DNC. As the society at large seems to be coming undone, the music scene goes through an equally tumultuous episode. The chaos of the year does yield three masterful works, which reflect 1968 in its disjointed entirety: Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland, The Beatles White Album, and The Rolling Stones' Beggars Banquet.
