Right there with you.

 

[Makareu]

Rage Against The Machine

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Also I completely forgot that Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted existed for a minute there.

Man the 90s were awesome.

 

[nabe_shogun]

I'd go with Boston. Like 6 of the 8 songs on the album still get radio play today.

 

[megatronium]

Edit: Nevermind

 

[Travo]

That's not their debut.

 

[megatronium]

Rage Against the Machine - spoilered just in case a dude going up in flames after dousing himself in gasoline is a little NSFW for some.

Spoiler

Unbelievable album.

Edit: was beaten, anyway.

 

[Monochromaticx]

is it really that hard to type the fucking name of the artist and album if its not written on the cover ?

anyway

sad wings of destiny - Judas priest
since i left you - avalanches

 

[Ninja Dom]

Illmatic
Reasonable doubt
Infamous
Its dark and hell is hot

Infamous wasn't Mobb Deep's debut album. They had an album before, called Juvenile Hell.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Hard to go past Justified.

 

[Kevtones]

Turn on the Bright Lights

This record ages like fine wine. I'm seeing them in Sept and they're playing an anniversary concert of this. I am EXTREMELY excited for it.

 

[gfxtwin]

In addition to some classics that have already been mentioned...

 

[Nickle]

 

[DiscoJer]

I'd go with Boston. Like 6 of the 8 songs on the album still get radio play today.

Which 6? Hitch a Ride and Let Me Take You Home Tonight are the ones you probably hear the least, but still a lot.

 

[MrS]

Same! Getting pretty hyped because it's coming around fast, right?

Another (relatively) recent favourite of mine that I haven't seen posted yet:

 

[gfxtwin]

Vince Staples - Summertime 06'
The Libertines - Up The Bracket

 

[seventynine]

Endtroducing - DJ Shadow

Absolutely brilliant piece of work.

 

[megatronium]

Lol, I see what you did there

Ahhhh you got me lol.

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Ain't nobody touching this.

 

[Clockwork5]

That's not their debut.

Not even as good as their debut album either.

 

[eXistor]

 

[Timeaisis]

Led Zeppelin I

Black Sabbath

In The Court of the Crimson King

40oz to Freedom

[Randy Lanzarote]

R.E.M. - Murmur
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Coldplay - Parachutes
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand

My picks from my own collection.



I'm still sad Bloc Party never came close to repeating the success of that first album.

 

[MrS]

I'm still sad Bloc Party never came close to repeating the success of that first album.

That mini renaissance of British indie rock was wonderful for the 2 years it lasted though, right? Some cracking albums came out of it.

 

[theaffection]

In addition to some classics that have already been mentioned...

Whats the fifth one?

 

[sdconvoy]

Third Eye Blind: Third Eye Blind
MGMT: Oracular Spectacular
Pearl Jam: Ten

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Genre may not be everyone's cup of tea but this is some good shit. Deja and Devil & God overshadow it though.

 

[dietdracula]

Funeral and College Dropout were already mentioned, so I'll add this:

Came to post this. An album so good it took them 15 years to release a follow-up.

My contribution:

[Switch Back 9]

Rage Against The Machine

Took long enough.

Endtroducing - DJ Shadow

https://youtu.be/InFbBlpDTfQ

Absolutely brilliant piece of work.

Oooooh good one.

 

[samwyse]

Dire Straits

true.

 

[Brhoom]

I dare anyone to say that it didn't inspire any female vocalist that came after it.

 

[DOWN]

Songs About Jane by Maroon 5 had some killer successful singles for alternative. Then they became Adam Levine and the mic stands.

 

[Hellshadow]

NIN - Pretty Hate Machine
Stone Temple Pilots - Core

 

[Dangansona]

Is This It by the Strokes and Weezer are two perfect albums that single handedly influenced rock that would follow. They also happen to be some of my favorites.

 

[Kevtones]

Records that haven't been said yet:


Clinic - Internal Wrangler
Todd Terje - Its Album Time
Betaband - The Three EPs (this counts right?)

Same! Getting pretty hyped because it's coming around fast, right?

Funny part is I forgot Deerhunter and Battles are opening. The former was my favorite band for about 5 years lol.

 

[lightskintwin]

I dare anyone to say that it didn't inspire any female vocalist that came after it.

I meant to put that on my list. Vanishing was my shit. Her influence didn't really show until the next generation.

 

[megatronium]

Good Kid Maad City is pretty strong but they rebranded Section 80 as the debut of Kendrick.

 

[J_Viper]

An audio recording of speed and coke

 

[Quikies83]

Interpol
Black Sabbath
Bloc Party
REM
Deftones

Lots of Weezer mentions. Personally, I think Pinkerton is their undisputed masterpiece!

 

[timetokill]

Genre may not be everyone's cup of tea but this is some good shit. Deja and Devil & God overshadow it though.

I love Brand New, and even enjoyed that album at the time, but all of their albums overshadow that one. They've come a LONG way since that album.
