Frank Sinatra's Come Fly With Me (1958) is a great addition to the Elvis self titled and Kind of Blue that have already been named

Although if we really want to stretch the definition of "album" you could say that the oldest one that the average Joe would have heard of is probably Bach's Symphony 1 or something like that

I think Frank Sinatra belongs in this group, but couldn't think of which album to go with. I like your choice.

Glen Gould's Bach: The Goldberg Variations was huge and is probably a good contender for a classic classical album from the 50s.
