List of rock and roll albums

This is a list of albums that are particularly notable or influential. It has been derived by compiling lists published by professional sources. Each album has at least one number following it. See references for the key, which assigns each source a number. All the lists are self-described as rock and roll (or rock or rock music or other variants). Many lists are organized from best to worst, but this is not taken into account -- all albums on a list are included with the same number, whether #1 or #100 on the list.

The three most cited albums on this list are Are You Experienced? by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, What's Going On by Marvin Gaye and Exile on Main Street by the Rolling Stones, which appear on seven out of the eight lists included.
