O/T: Debut Albums That....

[1966_and_all_that]

John Lennon, Plastic Ono Band. Minimalist and brilliant. John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Klaus Voorman and, occasionally Phil Spector. I would say that Ringo is at his best. In a minimalist 3 piece you have to be sharp and on the button timing wise. Ringo does this excellently.

Marquee Moon - Television
Ramones - Ramones
77 - Talking Heads
Closing Time - Tom Waits
Yesterdays Gone - Loyle Carner
Londinium - Archive

[Stony Hill]

In 1967 it was “Days of Future Passed” Moody Blues orchestral production,
1971 (correct me?) Led Zepp
Suppose folk will add to that according to generation. They for me….and others after!

 

[Tiptree Tangerine]

Boston - Boston
Ozzy - Blizzard of Ozz
Van Halen - Van Halen

 

[Potts Must Go]

PiL . Metal Box. Got a couple of tickets today to see Jah Wobble perfom the album in full next year.

And connected in a way to PiL you could say The Sex Pistols debut was a fair effort in fairness.

 

[Born_in_the_Fifties]

Outlandos d'Amour by The Police.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the best track was "Born in the 50s" ...

Truth hits everybody, believe me!

 

[Matesrates]

Great album, but that's probably one of the weaker tracks in my opinion. Which say a great deal.
Brilliant album.

Agree, there’s some brilliant tracks on that album and subsequent ones. Mark Knopfler is a genius.

 

[Poolster]

There is only one that immediately announced lasting greatness and dominance recognised to this day by his rivals, and that is Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix.

I'm sure I had that back in the day. One of those that got lent out and never came back.

Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern is ace and not mentioned yet.

Heard Wide Open Space on radio x a couple of months ago and forgot how good it was
Had actually forgotten about Mansun completely until then.

Great track and regular on my Spotify playlist now.

Jagged Little Pill - Alanis Morrissette

From memory I don’t actually think it was a debut album - but remember being blown away when it came out as I’d never heard of her before then. Couldn’t stop playing it

 

[bill40]

Very early for me Led Zep but the two cassettes (google it young 'uns) passed around my playground both total unknowns, Mike Oldfield Tubular Bells and Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf.

No it wasn’t but who cares, it was her first big album, and what a tale of love, angst, and emotion it was.

 

[Archibald Knox]

How could I overlook the debut album by The Only Ones? I first saw them back in ‘78, hell, much more than half a lifetime ago.

It was a wonderful show last night at the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. The sort where you finish drenched with sweat from dancing all throughout. They finished the main set with Another Girl and finally an epic version of The Beast.

For those of you lucky enough to be going to the Rebellion Festival today, you are in for a treat when they play at about 9pm. It might be just about the last chance to catch them live, as Perrett intimated as he left the stage last night. “See you in another ten or twenty years”, he said.
