Depending on how you count "Little Earthquakes" was not Tori Amos' first album: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Kant_Tori_ReadComment

In a similar vein to Pearl Jam's Ten , Temple of the Dog was the the self titled debut and only album by a band that included early vocals by Eddie Vedder although most of the vocals were by Chris Cornell.

Like Boston, this album introduced a new sound and style that proved itself to be popular and successful for a long time.Comment

How about Lynyrd Skynyrd's (Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)Comment

good one. produced by Al Kooper. Seem to recall that Tom Dowd had something to do with the engineering, but could be wrong. At the time of release, I wasn't familiar with the band, but they opened for The Who on the Quadrophenia tour. Saw them in Dallas and they were very good.Originally posted by C_W View PostHome: Pi4B-8GB/pCP8.2.x/4TB>LMS 8.3.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet)

Best 1st and Last
A unique addition to this list. A band from Winnipeg, Manitoba called Mood Ja Ja. They released a self-titled album in 1972. It was there first and last album as a group. Greg Leskiw of the band went on to join The Guess Who. This album was a mixture of soft rock / jazz and was produced by Phil Spector.
A couple of tunes from Mood Ja Ja
If you can find the album I recommend it. Still listen to it often - 40yrs later.Comment

One that I'm kinda surprised hasn't been mentioned: "Pretenders" by The Pretenders.
One of my favorites that hardly anyone has heard of these days: "Lone Justice" by Lone Justice.
Oh, and I'll place a vote for Lyle's debut, too...if for no other reason than we went to the same high school and college. Gotta support my fellow Texan!Last edited by GeeJay; 2012-10-26, 03:40.I’m down to one SB Touch and a Raspberry Pi. Mac Mini as a server (OS X Catalina). iPeng is my controller of choice. LMS 7.9.4.

Actually, Leskiw started up Mood jga jga AFTER he'd played with the Guess Who. Their self-titled album was released in 1975; he played with the Guess Who from 70 to 72, I believe. The Mood jga jga album was produced by Phil Ramone, not Phil Spector. Which was undoubtedly a better idea.Originally posted by slice235 View PostA unique addition to this list.

Worth getting, but not apparently commercially available anywhere. Download at http://www.raremp3.co.uk/2010/05/moo...-jga-1975.html.
Leskiw actually has some great more recent recordings, in particular Moonglow by the group called Swing Soniq. He sings and plays guitar. It's great, and is generally available.

I haven’t read this very old thread from it’s start but it’s fair to say there are some brilliant debut albums out there. For then to be truly great they have to be better than anything else by the same artist imho.
