To add something a little different than what’s already been offered, this one blew me away when it first came out:

Maroon_5_-_Songs_About_Jane.png


I can still remember when I heard the first single on the radio in college while driving to class; I turned the car around and went and bought the CD.

Had to miss all my classes that day because I was too busy learning the guitar parts to all these songs :rofl
 


Tool~~Undertow

I can remember us music-types totally geeking out on this, and how tight the Rhythm Section was.
I can remember whose house we were in, and what room.

Still love it. Far less evolved and more in your face than subsequent releases---which is not a bad thing,
in my book.
 
I was 9. This Album is still the total package on every level for me. :chef

Foreigner~~Foreigner


Yep, that's a great debut! That was one of my albums I got when I signed my record deal back in the day. You know, the one where you get 14 records for a penny. :rofl

My favorite track, once I got past the singles, was Long Long Way From Home. I remember it was the 1st track on side 2, and it SKIPPED! :cuss

 
Holy Hell! I almost forgot about this. So haunting and moving. Otherworldly!

I must have listened to this more than anything else in 1994-96. What a loss. :(


 
Some bands didn't, imho, find their "sound" so to speak, until later albums. I feel like Pink Floyd & Rush's best/better stuff was a few albums in.

Course, with both of those bands, they had a major early personnel change that greatly changed their overall sound. So, there's that.

Matt Bellamy of Muse has cited Jeff Buckley as an influence, and I can definitely hear it.

Edit to add- I think I hear some Porcupine Tree in Grace.

Excellent choice!

That album is great!

Keeping on the topic of newer releases, I would propose the following:

Both of these got repeat playing for weeks straight after I started listening to them.
