What band or artist had the best debut album in your opinion. The Cars Boston Jimi Hendrix The Beatles (recorded in 12 hours) Guns & Roses (Appetite for Destruction) All are awesome, but my all-time favorite which will never be topped is:
The Doors Mothers of Invention - Freak Out Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced? Talking Heads - More Songs ABout Buildings and Food Velvet Underground & Nico Beatles - Please Please Me Led Zeppelin no particular order
Out of the group you listed, Bob, I would have to go with the Cars but Boston is a close 2nd. I have all those albums you listed except for G n R and Bad Company. This is a tough question, but here are the ones I will say: "The Stone Roses" - The Stone Roses "Definitely Maybe" - Oasis "Parachutes" - Coldplay "Roxy Music" - Roxy Music "Ten" - Pearl Jam "Boston" - Boston "The Cars" - The Cars "The Smiths" - The Smiths "Black Sabbath" - Black Sabbath "Murmur" - REM "Pretty Hate Machine" - Nine Inch Nails "Gish" - Smashing Pumpkins "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" - Pink Floyd "In the Court of the Crimson King" - King Crimson "Unknown Pleasures" - Joy Division "Licensed to Ill" - Beastie Boys "Are You Experienced" - Jimi Hendrix Experience "Led Zeppelin I" - Led Zeppelin I have a lot of other debuts, but I tried to pick debuts that are also considered classic albums.
Ok, first, You MUSt go out and purchase Bad Co. I dont respect anyone that doesn't own that album, sorry, it's the way I feel. G n R must be your next purchase. Are you seriously buying Cheap Trick Albums instead of these? Don't wanna hurt your feelings, but you need direction on quality music The purpose of this thread was not to pick the popular debut albums, but YOUR favorite debut albums. I love hearing about bands/artists that I have never heard before.
Uh, I will NEVER buy anything that has that assflute W. Axyl Rose singing on it. Sorry but he just annoys me to no end. As for Bad Company, I will probably eventually get into them (as I have gotten into everyone else except G n R, LOL) but I got to get some Pretenders stuff first! And all the albums I listed are ones that I enjoy AND own. But I'll throw out Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights" as an album for you to look into, Finn. If you like the Smiths, Joy Division, Talking Heads, and Echo & the Bunnymen, then you will like Interpol.
The songs on "Appetite" are worth listeneing to Axyl, very good debut album. I have Echo and The Bunnymen's first album, I was disappointed. I love the Pretenders, Very underrated band. I have several Smiths albums but don't enjoy them Anyone have Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers debut album? Thoughts?
Haha, interesting you ask about Tom Petty - I am listening to his greatest hits right now - pretty solid but alas, that is all I own by him as I have never seen myself getting into his albums. Okay, enough of the kid gloves: One of the best debuts ever and one of my favorites: "The Clash" - The Clash (both English AND US versions)
