The Barenaked Ladies first album was not Gordon. It was also an eponymous album released on a cassette with a yellow label (it was an indie release but it did go Platinum in Canada).
My vote for best debut album would be The Violent Femmes - The Violent Femmes.

Trust you to know about the Canadian bands.
I stand corrected. As I said in the OP the rules ar variable and non-sensical.

The Police - Outlandos D'Amour
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes (nod to Charlatan)
Bill Withers - Just As I Am
Fiona Apple - Tidal
The B-52's - The B-52's (for being so exactly, completely B-52's  )
Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Alison Krauss - Too Late to Cry
Norah Jones - Come Away With Me
Ones that don't count but I'm including them anyway. 
Aimee Mann - Whatever
Michael Jackson - Off the Wall
George Harrison - All Things Must Pass
Paul Simon - Paul Simon
One that kinda, sorta counts???
Blind Faith - Blind Faith |
Aside from the Aimee Mann, all of the ones you slipped in on a technicality were in my original long list, as was "Live Peace in Torronto" by the Plastic Ono band.
Also, if we can have Cream, Eric Clapton, Blind Faith and Derek & The Dominoes, I can get 4 EC albums, which is no hardship. Shame he wasn't on the first Yardbirds or Mayal albums...
