Top 100 Music Albums of the 1950s

not including any of the "Les Concerts Du Domaine Musical" albums because I've only heard those as part of a larger compilation and I just really don't feel like sorting out all the different individual volumes lol, but uh yeah pro-tip most anything you see anywhere with "Les Concerts Du Domaine Musical" or just "Le Domaine Musical" attached is bound to be ace.
anyway yeah 50s enjoy these are all good
