Wow 46 in common. Lot's on here I'd probably replace some of mine with too. Great chart! Most impressed with the balance I wish I had better in mine with jazz records.

The chart looks great!
I mean I don´t know much about the music of the 50´s...
Louis Prima is funny and most of the other artists I know because of their later albums.
If I ever like to listen to some music from th 50`s: I´ll look at your chart!
