What is your favourite debut album?

[Sneech]

My most played would be

NMTB
The Specials
One Step Beyond
Inflammable Material
Speak & Spell
Dirk Wears White Sox
Rattus Norvegicus
Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables
None Stop Erotic Cabaret
Too Much Pressure
Ska n B
The Clash

 

[Cannonfodder]

Cranberries..Everyone else is doing it,So why can't we. Loved this band so much saw them live few times and they were just as good live as they were on the radio. Such a sad loss to the music world when Delores passed over as her voice was as raw as it was beautiful.

 

[Clash City Rockers67]

Will already have been said probably but
One Step Beyond
I Just Can't Stop It
Ramones
Specials
The Clash
Never Mind The Bollocks
Definitely Maybe
Suede
The Crossing
The Stone Roses

Maybe the first Specials one of the lot? Was only 12 at the time so had an impact which lasted ever since

 

[Boinger]

Another vote for Led Zep.

 

[soulsaver]

Gomez - Bring It On
Suede - Suede
The Streets - Original Pirate Material

 

[Fetch Fletch]

Shea Seger
I'd love to say the bollocks but I haven't listened to it for 30 years

Still got her debut on cd. Bought from New Zealand on cdwow iirc

 

[Quench]

SLF - Inflammable Material. My favourite album from my youth. Bought it the day it was released and still have and play my vinyl copy.

 

[Alpha P]

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Marillion Script For A Jester's Tear
AC/DC High Voltage
Y & T Earthshaker

 

[JAZZMANB]

Still got her debut on cd. Bought from New Zealand on cdwow iirc

She disappeared then brought a second album put 10 years later ( ish)

 

[lostinfrance]

I love Rory Gallaghers first album.
Tom Petty’s was a favourite also, but I reckon High Land Hard Rain by Aztec Camera is probably my most listened to album down the years.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

yeah I remember being surprised when it came up on whatever streaming service I was using at the time.

First album is cracking like.

Seen someone mention Nirvana on here, but I’m pretty sure nobody thinks Bleach is a class debut, and they are thinking Nevermind.

 

[TheMachinist]

Pixies' mini-album Come on Pilgrim and Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights

 

[Stray Cat]

Ten

 

[TallPaul]

Yous are all too old

Arctic Monkeys or Bloc Party for me, but Linkin Park was a great shout

 

[EchoMan]

The Cure - Three imaginary boys 1979

 

[bedlington mackem]

Agree that the debuts by ABC, Television, Stranglers, Van Halen and RATM are all classics
A couple of others that I also think are great are
Axe Victim - Be Bop Deluxe
Boston - Boston
Bad Co - Bad Company

 

[Big Duke Six]

I've never made one.

 

[CheersMarra84]

Ten - Pearl Jam
Surfer Rosa - Pixies
Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division

 

[i8playoffs]

A few great ones for me.

Metallica Kill Em All (total game changer)
Iron Maiden self titled
Black Sabbath self titled

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow
Marillion Script For A Jester's Tear
AC/DC High Voltage
Y & T Earthshaker

Earthshaker is a great album. Not a debut though.

 

[Horley Chorley]

Never Mind The Bollocks . . .
