Chuck Berry is where it's at. It should be mandatory everyone atleast own:

Also, Gene Vincent and Buddy Holly are pretty damn cool. Anyone care to elaborate? (I don't know nearly enough to do so)

Domestic violence is wrong! And I like Cheerios!

Me neither. :(

I've been meaning to get into rock and roll circa 1955-8.

It's irritating when I have so many tunes in my head (mainly from flicks) and can only identify half of it.

Charles Mingus - The Clown (1957)
Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um (1959)

It's pretty hard to do a list like this, because most 1950s R&B and rock-and-roll artists didn't release albums. Their songs came out one single at a time. Full LPs were for Broadway cast recordings and jazz artists, and the occasional pop artist like Frank Sinatra.
