Top 16 Music Albums of the 1950s by AfterHours Unknown

Only albums I've rated 75/100 and above will be included on this chart. My ratings are pretty strict, thus 75/100 is an exclusive, high rating from me, indicating a historically extraordinary work.

NOTE: Art Blakey's Orgy in Rhythm is separated into two volumes and two selections on this site, but I consider both volumes as one album and one selection. So my rating and ranking is infact for both volumes put together as one work, not each individually.

Right on. There are many other excellent Jazz albums from the 50s but with these charts I am keeping the cut off point at 7.5/10 (which indicates "historically extraordinary/amazing")

6 albums in common. Not bad considering only 16 albums on the list.
