The most important debut album in history

[vegster]

The Boy with the Arab Strap is in my top 5 songs of all time.

It is a cracker of a track but I slightly prefer " Dirty Dream No.2 " from that album

Why should I be sensible when you went and suggested Leonard Cohen ?

after due consideration, my initial thought that 'The Velvet Underground & Nico' is the most important debut album in history holds true for me as I believe that a significant amount of my rather lovely music collection was touched by it.

and it's rather good.

My Life in the Bush of Ghosts - Brian Eno & David Byrne- A bit of a cheat as it was both the first and last album they recorded together!

This is a very, very good call.

We've waited eight pages for this, but it had to come.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath - This album gave us a new genre.

Fairport Convention - Fairport Convention - In three albums time they would invent a new genre. However, the seeds of English folk rock were born here.

Script for a Jester's tear - Marillion - Introduced a whole new generation to prog rock.

I read an article about their influences and they were pretty open about their admiration for The Smiths and Morrisey. Now I was never a big fan of Morrisey - although there are some bits I like - but he will tell in just about every interview he does how big the music of Leonard Cohen was to him.
You see this is the point of the thread......influence, inspiration and not just an album by a band you happen to like.

Anyway I think I would have to plump for Velvet underground and Niko if pushed and quote the usual, "not everyone bought it but those who did all went and formed a band themselves"

Belle and Sebastien .....influence ?

 

[Seagull58]

What an album that is. First time I heard it, it blew me away. Gets my vote

I think some need to work out the difference between brilliant and important.

Can't Buy a Thrill - Steely Dan.
Love - Forever Changes.
Roxy Music - Roxy Music.

You can probably tell from this how old I am!

Not sure about the Steely Dan album given that 'Reelin in the years' is basically the same song as 'Blowin free' by Wishbone Ash although with different lyrics, given that Argus was released before Can't buy a thrill.
