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

[Pevenseagull]

Should have included The Cure, Three Imaginary Boys on my short list.

 

[Hiney]

Literally impossible to narrow it down but as already mentioned, The Clash and Never Mind the Bollocks would be up there.

I would also add 'Down by the Jetty' by Dr Feelgood.

 

[El Presidente]

 

[AK74]

Sure , the GRANDADS will say I'm talking tosh but this album will always be one of my favourites. Never do I pick one song from it. I have to listen to it from start to finish and immediately I'm taken back to college days.

Hot Fuss by The Killers. Wonderful album.

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever you say I am, that's what I'm not
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill
Jungle - Jungle

Lovely stuff.

 

[dazzer6666]

I'm with the OP on Iron Maiden/Iron Maiden

 

[pearl]

I stand corrected. Poor old Curt Cobain.

 

[piersa]

Having only listened to a handful o the available, the two, absolute head and shoulders are

the stone roses
definitely maybe

 

[wigman]

The Clash- The Clash

Oh and this post didn't need a YouTube video to tell you that

Is the correct answer.

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside. That was a pretty good debut album.

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

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

All good shouts but I can't give Argus because it's spelt like the newspaper not the shop, and it was their third album.

Hot Fuss by The Killers. Wonderful album.

Hot Fuss made a huge impact when it came out. They just arrived so fully formed. Most would argue they have not lived up to the hype since but at the time they were incredibly exciting. I came back to this thread specifically to make sure that album got a mention.

Argus was Wishbone Ash's third album

Pay attention

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

Never sure when people post stuff like this whether they are just fishing, haven't fully read and understood the thread title, or are just idiots.

This was their 5th album, or 6th if you include the live, Under a Blood Red Sky

 

[studio150]

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

Or even their 7th

 

[Vankleek Hill Seagull]

The two best debut albums ever... Music is so subjective...

 

[jcdenton08]

Definitely Maybe, Oasis

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Telephone Bill and the Smooth Operators.....' Pretty Slick, Huh? '
