Elvis Presley: Elvis Presley (1956) If not the center of rock-and-roll's Big Bang, this album spread the explosion. Presley's debut LP for RCA was the first rock-and-roll album to reach #1 and heralded the King to much of the world. The cover featured a spirited photo by William S. "Popsie" Randolph and a wacky pink-and-green type treatment that's been copied by the Clash (see London Calling in the Super 30 Album Covers), Tom Waits, and k.d. lang, among others. The King still rules. -- JC
