Music: What Debut Albums Do You Like?

A Tribe Called Quest - Peoples Instinctive Travels

Brave call, most people would pick Midnight Marauders as #1. I dont know which id pick #1 because the great songs on that album are some of my favorites even over midnight marauders.

One great debut album not yet mentioned (I think?): MC5 - Kick Out The Jams.

Always great seeing this album mentioned.

plus Def Leppard's debut was On Through The Night, not Hysteria. I remember getting that one on 8 track and noone else had heard of them and I would play it in the car and blow everyone away. Too bad they went more pop as they went along, I loved their first album


sorry to nitpick but none of these were first albums but 2 and 4 were great albums even if one of them had no bass on it.

The 3rd album is actually the best on his list (SATD)

They did. But OTTC is the debut studio album so it counts. Invasion is a great follow up as well

I am not that big of a Motley Crue fan. They remind me of what Dave Mustaine said GLAM metal stood for.

 

[VMBM]

A couple of great ones I had totally forgotten (my mind is like Swiss cheese nowadays):

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk
The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers

EDIT:
Dr. John - Gris-Gris

 

[Thucydides]

Nine inch nails - Pretty Hate Machine

 

[SabrePL]

Rammstein - Herzelaid.
Kat - 666 (English version: Metal and Hell)

The Band would be in my top 10 (of all albums ever), but like already pointed out, it wasn't their debut. And wasn't Selling England By The Pound something like the fifth record by Genesis? From Genesis To Revelation was the debut.

Oh, for christsakes. My error on both counts. I don't know how I got Music from Big Pink wrong, as I know that album intimately. About Genesis' first album, no excuses there, just pure ignorance on my part.
