Best Debut Album - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

JohnnyRock · 09-09-2003, 12:13 PM

Was thinking about some of the best debut albums of all time and I really can't think of any that was better than Guns 'n Roses Appetite for Destruction.

What do you think is the best debut?

tj2001cobra · 09-09-2003, 12:54 PM

Here is a short list of good debuts:

Pearl Jam - 10
A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
Garth Brooks - Self Titled
Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine

Hmm.. that is all I can think of right now.

I realize some of these are possibly record label debuts and not the very first thing that was ever produced by them. I am just going off of wide-spread commercial releases.

Boston

absorbentishe · 09-09-2003, 01:05 PM

Led Zep.
Okay also on my list of best debuts, Rush, Van Halen, Black Sabboth, AC/DC, Stone Temple Pilots, Rage Against the Machine, The Ramones. Those are the groups that had the most impact on me as for a debut album. Some of them were when I was very small, and didn't get into the music until I was older.

Derwood · 09-09-2003, 01:33 PM

Good ones listed so far.

I'll add:

Sigur Ros - Agytus Byrnjyn (or however you spell it)

Reverend Horton Heat - Smoke em' if you Got em'

Idioteque420 · 09-09-2003, 02:05 PM

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks

Granted, he had recorded in a band previously, but this is technically his "debut". One of the best albums ever recorded.

Averett · 09-09-2003, 02:57 PM

Counting Crows - August and Everything After

While ágætis byrjun was a great album, it was actually their second album(the first being Von).

I gotta go with A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms, though the Counting Crows and Pearl Jam are good choices too.

Halx · 09-09-2003, 06:18 PM

I dont think anyone can top the success of Alanis Morrisette - Jagged Little Pill ... never mind if it was good or not.

Exodus · 09-09-2003, 06:34 PM

Metallica - Kill 'Em All. IMHO... That album basically started the huge trend in thrash metal.
