The Top 10 Rock & Roll Albums of the 1950s

In an effort to become familiar with the wide landscape that is popular music, I've ventured on something I'm calling the Music Deep Dive, in which I take a look at the most popular, well-liked, and other assorted albums from each year progressing from the 1950s onwards. (NOTE: this venture does not include classical or jazz because I figure that exploring those genres appropriately would require putting sole focus on them for an extended period of time, which I intend to do at a later date.) Because of the lack of albums during the latter half of the 50s (where my exploration starts) and early 1960s, I intend on doing one general list for the "rock & roll era", if you will, and then lists for each individual year from 1964 onwards (1960-'63 will be treated in end-of-decade lists because there isn't all *that* much great non-jazz material there). So yeah. Enjoy.
