Greatest debut album?

Post by jeremyb »

I was thinking about this today, who do you think had the greatest ever debut album? maybe we could look at decades or something?

Was thinking 80's wise for me it has to be Appetite for destruction, 90's I would tentatively put forward Definitely Maybe, both are pretty stellar from beginning to end...

I think "Bollocks" should be in there?

Not sure about the 60s as (IMHO) they started off in a pretty lame place, really.

I guess one is supposed to mention the Beatles and all, but if I never hear "Please Please Me" again, I won't really mind. I understand that it had a huge impact, blah blah blah but geez...

I would go for "Are You Experienced".
