It was mentioned earlier, but Dire Straits' debut absolutely blew me away. Steely Dan's "Can't Buy a Thrill" was a pretty strong debut as well. Carole King's "Tapestry" is still a classic.Regards,

Boston's self-titled debut album is certainly worthy of that mention, even though it's a tad pop-ish for my taste. I don't think there's ever been another debut album on which every single song was of such high quality in both songwriting and musicianship, making it, in effect, a greatest hits' album. Chicago Transit Authority was similarly well-endowed, but contained a little too much filler as a double album. And of course, Hendrix's Are You Experienced belongs on any such list.Originally posted by Apesbrain View Post
One I'll add is Santana (I), which not only had great music, but included what is still regarded as one of the best album cover artworks ever created.
And another debut album that ranks right up there in both music and cover art is In The Court Of The Crimson King.Comment

Actually, I think Layla isn't eligible for this thread because none of the musicians were "new". It's an Eric Clapton band with a different name; made especially fine by the addition of Duane Allman to many of the tracks, who was actively recording with the Allman Brothers.Originally posted by garym View Post

Warren Zevon's self-titled disc from 1976 (technically not a debut, because he released an album in 1969, but for all intents and purposes the 1976 LP is a debut, so don't bug me man! :-). Chock-full of astonishing tracks.
Tonio K, "Life in the Foodchain" - in the words of rock critic Steve Simels, "twice as angry as Elvis Costello and about six times funnier."
The White Stripes self-titled debut CD - an emphatic statement that the garage was BACK!Comment

Agree about Zevon's debut album (and agree that the '69 album doesn't really count), with one stellar track after another. Warren's songs were great, but it also got a big boost from the guests who contributed. Having folks like Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Phil Everly, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, J.D. Souther, Jackson Browne and David Lindley (among others) help out on your debut album is not a bad way to get a recording career started!Originally posted by kmr View PostComment

Give a spin to Bonnie Raitt's first two albums:
Bonnie Raitt - self titled first album
Her second - Give It Up

Terence Trent D'Arby's 'Introducing the hardline According to Terence Trent D'Arby''.
A real kicker of a debut album.I've got a fever above my waist

A couple more nominations:
Sheryl Crow - Tuesday Night Music Club. Great songs, great backing band, great production. Who knew that "Texas" rhymes with "suspected"?
Traffic - Dear M. Fantasy. Because I was a kid and there were sitars and a Hammond B-3. What else could you ask for?Pi4 w/Allo Boss 2 Player (Wired), Max2Play w/LMS Server 8.2

James McMurtry to long in the wasteland . Is a solid debut album. Interesting artist that does not always live up to his potential mostly boring on the later albums.
Thats a subject for a tread of it's own artist where you have to filter out most of the stuff to find the good ones ?--------------------------------------------------------------------
