I voted "Today" 10 GREAT tracks in ONE album.

Out of those listed, Elvis Is Back gets my vote.

I went for 'From Elvis In Memphis' from the list. E in 69' was fantastic!

The 4 essential Elvis albums to take anywhere are:

Elvis
Elvis Is Back!
From Elvis In Memphis
Elvis Country

Maybe its because they all feature his name in the title eh!?

Really though, Elvis is a better album than Elvis Presley, its his first real album where as Elvis Presley isa compilation of old and new material.

Question: why exclude His Hand In Mine but include the other 2 gospel albums?

If I had to choose from those selections, it would be 'Elvis Country', but to be fair there are more than a couple of contenders in your list, Jeanno.

How about a poll for best studio session(s)

JerryNodak · Post by **JerryNodak** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 9:05 pm

I voted for "Pot Luck" because I love his voice on those songs. Also, it's the only studio album he ever cut where I liked ALL the songs the first time I heard them and STILL like them 40+ years later.

Post by **bajo** » Sat Oct 28, 2006 9:30 pm

I would have added His Hand In Mine to the list, which is another favourite of mine.
Still, I'm with Doc on this, there are more than one.
I would also like to include the "lost" albums. "For The Asking" and "Tomorrow Is A Long Time" on the list.
Still, it's a tie between the following:

Elvis Presley
Elvis
Elvis Is Back
From Elvis In Memphis
Elvis Country

Then:

His Hand In Mine
Something For Everybody
He Touched Me
How Great Thou Art
Today

They are all great!

Joe -
These are how they charted here in the U.S.:
Elvis Presley #1
Elvis #1
Elvis Is Back! #2
Something For Everybody #1
Pot Luck #4
How Great Thou Art #18
From Elvis In Memphis #13

Missing from the poll but should've been included:
His Hand In Mine #13
That's The Way It Is #21

I voted "From Elvis In Memphis". No special reason I just love those songs and that period in Elvis's carreer

I don't think this one really counts as a proper studio album

From Elvis in Memphis

besides Elvis Presley 1st LP.... maybe one of the best... My vote is for From Elvis In Memphis...

Post by **KiwiAlan** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 3:27 am

To each his own - but - do 6 members really believe that TODAY was Elvis' best album

My vote went to Elvis Is Back.

For Elvis CD Collectors
