Dire Straits - Dire Straits.............. Played it through military basic training....memories The Clash - The Clash................. Outstanding
August 8, 201015 yr The Bangles, Vanilla Ice, Roxette all had one album correct? Black Eyed Peas first album was pretty successful.
August 8, 201015 yr Tough, very tough. I'm gonna go with Led Zepplelin. No wait, The Doors. No, Hendrix's "Are You Experienced". Then later Van Halen. dam_n fine debut album.
August 8, 201015 yr debut album? it was debut tutsi with marawanna inna car fulla mad hoodlums at high speed with Are you experienced? at high volume on the 8 track...about 1966 or 1967, can't remember... looked like sumpin' outta David Lynch and Blue Velvet with mad Frank at the wheel...
August 8, 201015 yr UB40 'Signing Off' 'I think it is going to rain today' Listen to it and see if you cannot relate
August 9, 201015 yr Very tough question - I'm gonna start in the eighties as my favourites prior to that I discovered in bulk "complete catalougue" form. I'd say without too much thought (because then I'll start second guessing myself)..... Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction Pearl Jam - Ten Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine Ben Harper - Welcome To The Cruel World I better stop now I'm starting to ramble
August 9, 201015 yr Author Many big name artists seem to have started strongly if these choices are anything to go by. Nice to see Pearl Jam's Ten reaffirmed. I should have included Dire Straits' first album in the opening post (thanks suiging). Their second album Communique is a cracker also. Kate Bush's The Kick Inside deserves mention. She was 19 years old at the time. Edited August 9, 201015 yr by sibeymai
August 9, 201015 yr Author Another worth a mention is Dreamboat Annie by Heart....in one word, slick.
August 10, 201015 yr The Beatles and the Stones win every time, but in the 80s the Cure's first was great and also The Smiths'.

Dire Straits - Dire Straits.............. Played it through military basic training....memories The Clash - The Clash................. Outstanding I've got or had all those. I didn't know they were debut albums. Perhaps I bought them after they were famous, sort of in reverse. I still love blasting Meatloaf out!!
August 12, 201015 yr Yeah, I've also gotta go with Dire Straits Grace (Buckley) was also a stunning album. David Gray's White Ladder remains his best work to date. Tom Wait's - Closing Time. among some others I've forgotten.

Are you Experienced . Jimi Hendrix. Say no more. Parachutes . Coldplay. Also agree with Stones no.1 Dire Straits. Led Zeppelin. Meat Loaf. Edited August 13, 201015 yr by Lite Beer
August 16, 201015 yr Author Based on the feedback here I went out and bought the Stone Roses and Jeff Buckley's albums. Both worthy contenders and thanks all for the input.
August 16, 201015 yr Based on the feedback here I went out and bought the Stone Roses and Jeff Buckley's albums. Both worthy contenders and thanks all for the input. Jeff Buckley's is not only a debut album but his sole album. I had considered posting it but didn't think anyone would know it given some of the other music choices I've seen here. Ok, here;s me apologizing..
