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, though not more specific substyles like hard rock), though some would more commonly be described as reggae, blues, calypso, jazz, soul, country, funk, heavy metal or hip hop. 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.
