Elvis Presley is still making his mark 56 years after his first album changed the face of music. "Elvis Presley" the album was recently featured in the Shortlist.com's 50 Coolest Albums of All Time. Elvis' debut album tops the list with the website taking note of classic hits such as "Blue Suede Shoes" and calling his album cover "iconic." Shortlist refers to John Lennon's quote - "Before Elvis there was nothing," describing "the boy from Tupelo, MS" as a catalyst for rock 'n' roll.
Among other music legends such as the Beatles and Frank Sinatra, "Elvis Presley" landed a spot on the list for being an album filled with a "heady rush" and "seminal" music. Shortlist.com describes the list of game changers as, "your record collection is seriously lacking in kudos without these 50 records." "Elvis Presley" the album was released in 1956 topping the Billboard chart at #1 for ten weeks. It is the first Elvis album to reach over $1 million in sales, earning Elvis his first gold album award.
