OT Music Discussion: Best Debut Album of All Time....

anon_xdc8rmuek44eq · Nov 15, 2016

Haven't had a good music discussion in some time - thoughts on 'best' debut albums of all time? I don't really know what I mean by 'best' either - significant, important, 'excellent' musically? Anyway, here are a few I think belong in the discussion...

Beastie Boys, Licensed to Ill (1986)

Oasis, Definitely Maybe (1994)

Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine (1989)

The Doors, The Doors (1967)

Guns-N-Roses, Appetite for Destruction (1987)

Wow tough choice.
For me it would be a tie between Oasis and The Doors.
Is that a cop out? LOL.

Well, those were just some that I thought of initially - not necessarily ones you have to vote for. But, those two really stand out.

Haha, me too. With I saw the topic, this is the first album I though of. The album was full of good songs.

yea I think you might be right. I always get those mixed up or interchanged.
May be an European/American thing?
In any case which ever the debut album is by them would be my #1.

That was their fifth studio album. 'The Doors' was their debut album.

that was my choice.

TenerHallTerror · Nov 15, 2016

on a side note, I put the debut (and so far only) CD of "Them Crooked Vultures" in my car stereo a few weeks ago . . . been making a regular rotation. Granted, they were a super group of Josh Homme, Dave Grohl, and John Paul Jones . . . but IMHO best ROCK album since Appetite for Destruction.

TenerHallTerror · Nov 15, 2016

I'll also throw in Emerson Lake & Palmer's self titled debut album:

Tom McAndrew · Nov 15, 2016

Some others to consider:

- Are You Experienced, by The Jimi Hendrix Experience

- Horses, Patti Smith

- Pretenders, by the Pretenders

- Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ, by Bruce Springsteen

- She's So Unusual, by Cyndi Lauper

My Generation, by The Who

psu1969a · Nov 15, 2016

Thriller
Temps in a Mellow Mood
Any Roy Oribson
Any Elvis
Gawd a whole lot better that the ones listed.

I don't know how to post pictures (techno stupid).

My vote - U2's "Boy".

Hail Lions.

MtNittany · Nov 15, 2016

Not in contention w/ the others, but two interesting ones that came out around the same time...

Diego Badman · Nov 15, 2016

Terry Kath at his rawest ("Free Form Guitar"). Also some great commercial hits: "Beginnings", "Questions 67 and 68", "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is." Also, "I'm A Man" has great Kath guitar and vocals.

Get the Knack was fantastic

Chickenman Testa · Nov 15, 2016

Someone nailed it - Are you Experienced by Hendrix

Take a listen to that and be blown away. I don't think even the other great rock groups can approach it
