What's the best DEBUT album of all time?

Question

I really like THE SMITHS self-titled first album as a great debut.

Answer 1

KoRn's first album ties with John Butler Trio's first album.

Answer 2

space oddity-david bowie... but im just a david bowie freak :]

Answer 3

Please Please Me - The Beatles

Answer 4

I don't know if it's the best of all time..but Boston's self titled debut is what I always think of when someone ask this question

Answer 5

Undertow- Tool

Answer 6

I think At The Drive In's "Acrobatic Tenement" is def up there, not counting the 2 ep's prior....

Rage Against The Machine's first album.....

There's a lot I can think of but those 2 stand out to me immediately

Answer 7

I figured I would name some that no one has yet - the obvious have been names (Doors, LZ, etc.):

Aerosmith

Telsa

Dio

Metallica

That is all I can think of right now - work has officially burned me out for the day....

Answer 8

AC/DC - High Voltage

Answer 9

The Doors self-titled debut is amazing...

But Led Zeppelin's debut really showed how they were separating themselves from what they had done in the past (for example, it was much different from what Page had done in The Yardbirds), in a way bridging the gap from the '60s to the '70s. So that's what gets my vote... of course I'm a bit biased, but aren't we all?
