My top 50 is in shambles with Kanye’s recent tumble forcing a total reappraisal of his work (it’s not all in the garbage, but some of it definitely is harder to enjoy in good faith) so I’m working through the albums I haven’t listened to in chronological order. Obviously, one listen isn’t gonna make me an expert, but it’s time to find new music.

So far:

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley

Saxophone Colossus by Sonny Rollins
Blue Train by John Coltrane
Here's Little Richard by Little Richard

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk

I need more albums from the 50's/early 60's under my belt.
