[Music] What do you consider to be the greatest debut album of all time ?

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

Ive already thumbs up' a couple of posts but surprised that Appetite for Dustruction has not been mentioned thus far, and Stereophonics - Word Gets Around. Not the greatest, but both great debuts

Look up

Indeed. My home from home, 77-79

Slightly (only slightly!) before my time. Who else did you see there - Pistols, Clash, Joy Division?

Is not a debut. It must be five or six albums into ELO's career

 

[Simgull]

Marquee Moon - Television
The Clash (not mentioned yet?)

Difficult to argue with The Stone Roses and Unknown Pleasures - two of the greatest British albums of all time

Music from the Big Pink: The Band
Argos: Wishbone Ash
Elton John: Elton John
Piper at the Gates of Dawn: Pink Floyd
The Doors: The Doors

If push came to shove and it just had to be one album, I’m in agreement with The Velvet Underground and Nico

Wishbone Ash Argus not Argos and not their debut album either!

Seeing as lots have people have already nominated the Roses how about this lot from the other end of the East Lancs who had a debut album at much the same time, equally wonderful in my opinion..

Oh, I missed that bit. Still, a great album.

I can only go buy albums I bought as a kid. So I'll run with Dexys and 'Searching for the young soul rebels'

Good Shout. Great Album.

The Wombles?

 

[Goldstone1976]

I’ll contribute one the hadn’t been listed so far for consideration: Pretenders.

Actually, of course, it’s Led Zep.

Though possibly the most influential is Please please me.

Bleach

I stand corrected. Poor old Curt Cobain.
