Top 50 Albums Of All Time

So here's how I chose the albums for this list. I researched and listened and agonized until I had a list of the best and most influential albums ever - the music recordings of the last half-century that need no introduction. Every single album on the list is excellent, and I made an effort to make the list as diverse as possible in terms of artists and genres represented.

Obviously this poster has no appreciation for anything resembling country.. Cash- At Folsom Prison, Willie- Red Headed Stranger; Waylon- Lonesome On'ry and Mean, Merle- Mama Tried, Buck- Carnegie Hall Concert, ANYTHING from Hank, or the 60's Bakersfield Sound, or the 70's Outlaw Movement. Also sorely missing Chuck Berry and John Coltrane.
