Long Shot's Top 100 Albums of the 1950s

I reckon I'd probably listened to all of 20 albums from the '50s before undergoing this Music Deep Dive, so it's awesome to be able to speak about this decade with a much greater degree of familiarity. NOTE: THESE OPINIONS ARE NOT SET IN STONE AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITH FURTHER LISTENS AS TIME GOES ON. Alright, good talk everybody. See you in the '60s. (:
