1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die is a list of the best, the most important, and the most influential pop albums from 1955 through 2003. Carefully selected by a team of international critics, each album is a groundbreaking work seminal to the understanding and appreciation of music from the 1950s to the present.
This playlist contains the 1950s albums from the list in their entirety. Where an album was not available, I tried to piece it together from greatest hits collections and the like. When this wasn't possible, the artist's next most popular album on RateYourMusic.com from the same decade was taken instead (listed underneath).
When this was not possible, a greatest hits or similar album was used.
I will be adding the other decades from the list in time.
