Greatest debut albums

Funny part is I forgot Deerhunter and Battles are opening. The former was my favorite band for about 5 years lol.
That's awesome, much better than the UK legs - no supports have even been announced. Mirrored by Battles was a really strong debut album too.

I almost forgot...

Dizee_Rascal_Album_Boy_in_da_Corner.jpg


Genre defining shit right here.

Dizzee Rascal: Boy In Da Corner.

It's a great record and maybe their best.

Yeah up there with Mr. Beast and Harcore Will Never Die But You Will imo.

Gonna see them in October, hope the new one turns out great, but I'm not concerned when it comes to this band.
 
Two lesser known albums

Killing Joke - Killing Joke
Not hugely popular at the time but has had a major influence on bands from Nirvana to Metallica

The Chameleons - Script of the Bridge
Inexplicably they weren't bigger than they were, this is stunning debut and one of the best post-punk albums still to this day.

I really like Mute Math

MI0000643114.jpg


Turned out to be their best album though

Break the Same studio and live versions:

Yeah there are a lot of good songs on that one. I also like their third album.

Also, the first supertramp is my favorite. It's their most progressive rock-styled album with big folk influences.

First Nick Drake is still my favorite.

Feelies created some excellent Post-punk here. The first song is still one of the best openers ever.

Lo-Fi Elliott Smith. There are better albums but that one is really strong.

Pretty sure my life wasnt the same after listening to this album for the first time.

Infinite doesn't count because nobody liked that shit until AFTER he was famous.

EDIT - also, this little album by some dude.

I was going to let you know about infinite lol but it still is his debut.
 
Listening to Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-tang clan and goddamn what a fucking legendary album, and it was their first. Can listen to it on loop continuously.


Gimme some other examples of incredible debut albums.

I didn't even know that was there debut. Man, I ain't shit.

I got a few for you.
I like It Was Written more, but damn Illmatic is fucking insane too and why he's my favorite rapper and your favorite rapper's favorite rapper.

This one is just about as good as From the Art.

One in a Million is her best, but her debut is really good too.

Still her best album. Live is up there too just because of Ye Yo.

My first Metal album. I listened to their second one a few days ago and this one is still better. I want to get into more metal eventually.

Found her with this album and it became one of my favorite albums ever. Her other two albums are just as good.

This shit is so good and I love You're Always on My Mind.

AliciaKeys-SongsInAMinor-music-album.jpg

Songs in a Minor is so good. I like Diary better, but Songs in a Minor is a close second. I love "Troubles" so much.

Kollage.jpg

One of the best emcees in my opinion and this album is so damn good.

Lil_Kim_-_Hard_Core.png

I used to be scared of the dick, now I throw lips to the shit. Handle it like a real bitch. Heather Hunter. Take it in the butt yes yes what?

I love me some Kim and this album has all the bangers. No Time, Big Momma Thang, Crush on You, Queen Bitch, M.A.F.I.A. Land, Drugs. The only one I think is just okay is Dreams. I love the beat of Drugs so much. It's one of my favorites.

The only Kanye album I like. I feel like he fell off after this.

I feel like I'm forgetting a lot of rappers here.
