Storically speaking most of the musicians who influence us now where influenced by the great Rhythm & Blues and Jazz musicians such as Bo Diddly, Muddy Watters, Charlie Watts & Chuck Berry. The album that I believe has influenced the most musicians today would be a tie between The Beach Boys, "Pet Sounds," and the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
My personal favorite "rock" album would be "Devil Without A Cause," by Kid Rock. .Chuck Berry Is On Top - allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fif... Pretty much defined rock guitar. My favorite is Sleater-Kinney - All Hands On The Bad One allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hbf....
I would have to say Elvis Presleys debut album "Elvis Presley" ushered in a new genre of music and influenced many rock genre artists for years. I still pull this one out of the LP collection now and again. This album was also the first million-selling rock 'n' roll album.

I just noticed it is modeled after that Elvis Presley album posted above, how about that.I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
