Your Favorite Debut Album

Yeah, those first few Floyd albums don’t do it for me at all. I haven’t heard that stuff in decades and have no plans to do so anytime soon.

Facelift is definitely up there, EJ’s Tones is another good one. DT’s WDADU was pretty great despite the mix.

Oh, fuckin’ Ryche! Either the EP or The Warning, you can’t go wrong with either.

I don't think any other band/artist has something as impactful as Van Halen I was. But my personal favourite has to be Slipknot.

I would argue that Jimi Hendrix' debut album Are You Experienced probably had more impact than Van Halen, given what music was around back in 1967. Van Halen was was a ground breaking album for its time, but its all a matter of context. 👍

Excellent!

Fun fact: my band TooMuchFiction got our name from The Sundays song Summertime 😄

Haha, that's cool!
It's been a minute since I've listened to them but as soon as I play any off that first album, I'm transported right to my high school days. Good times hanging on the beach playing volleyball. :love
 
I think it's hard to top Boston's debut though. Every friggin' song has been played relentlessly on FM radio since coming out.
The only negative would be that you've heard it too many times. :LOL: Not to mention the impact it had on artists and bands coming up, and Scholz's added influence on the guitar electronics scene -- which in itself was and is huge.
 
The Cars came out in 79, and led 80's new wave, airc, so I'd put it up there with Van Halen, Boston, & Are You Experienced for how much new ground it broke. Heck, the entire first side was on the radio.

We'd worked up Good Times Roll, we'd finish the song, and our other guitar player would launch into My Best Friend's Girl, so we worked that one up. Same thing happened when he launched into Just What I Needed.

Then, on side 2, we did You're All I've Got Tonight. Bill starts playing Bye Bye Love, so that got added, and then Moving In Stereo. We did 6 songs off that album!
