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

This image will forever be linked to my uncle's wedding when I was a kid when he gave shirts with this on it to all members of the wedding party (I was a forever ring-bearer for my aunts and uncles since I was the oldest nephew/cousin in the fam). I was the coolest early elementary school kid.
I'm not sure if this counts, but Groove Theory is a really good album. I listened to it earlier this year for the first time. Amel's work outside from this album I think is just okay. It seemed to me like she needed to keep the producer from this album.
She brought back the 90s feel of R&B.
Kamaiyah released a damn good album last year. A Good Night in the Ghetto is that West Coast party music with a modern vibe. I've been bumping this shit so much this year and I can't wait for her second release this year, Don't Ever Get It Twisted.
That album cover is queen shit.
Really happy to see all the love for Silent Alarm by Bloc Party, the instrumentation on that is fucking killer. Awesome vocals too.
Will also cosign Funeral among other things
Always loved the drums on Silent Alarm.
.
I really like Mute Math

Feelies created some excellent Post-punk here. The first song is still one of the best openers ever.
I can't think of another first album from a band that I love as much as this one. Wolf Parade's Apologies to the Queen Mary kills right out of the gate.
Every single track is amazing, including songs on the demo tape that should have been on the main album (Darkness of Greed especially, which was later recorded once again for The Crow).
Settle For Nothing never got played live after the early 90s enough (and then they stopped playing Take The Power Back for some reason), too many people wanted the big hits.
First thing I thought of, but it's probably not even in my top twenty best debuts.Weezer-Weezer (The Blue Album)
