Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin I
Prounouced by Skynyrd, or maybe Herzlied by Rammstein, or Experienced by JHI
Goodie Mob - Soul Food.
That, or Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - Adventures on the Wheels of Steel.
Or Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die.
Or Nas - Illmatic.
Perhaps even Dr. Dre - The Chronic. I doubt that, though. ~;)
And before you guys think I only listen to rap: Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin I. ~;)

That's Herzeleid, not Herzlied. A good call, though; I still listen to that album.Quote:

I'm very impressed with the Kaiserchiefs
Meh, i liked a few of their songs, nice and catchy. However, i think that alot of them sound a bit...er..the same. It's the same kind of problem i have with Keane. I don't see much variety going on.Quote:

Gah, I forgot about Grace. Good choice.
imo (in no particular order):
led zepellin - led zepellin 1 (popular choice i see)
snoop dogg - doggystyle
brian eno - here come the warm jets
nick drake - five leaves left
de la soul - 3ft high and rising
outkast - southernplayalisticadillacmuzick
boards of canada - music has the right to children
dj shadow - endtroducing...
Hmmm, I don't really think OutKast's debut was all that good... Soul Food was much better. Fine exception on Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik is Player's Ball and Git Up Git Out ft. Goodie Mob. Still on my playlist today.
Forgot 3 Feet High And Rising though... :embarassed:
Also, Pete Rock & CL Smooth - All Souled Out is a fine album.

Guns and Roses-Appetite for Destruction? or am I being a musical retard again?
Appetite for Destruction
Even though I prefer AC/DC, Led Zep and the Stones to GN'R (they're #4 on my fav bands list), AFD was a phenomenon. Exactly the right album, by exactly the right five guys, at exactly the right time.
EDIT - Yowser! [/lame Mr Brownstone reference] Ah_Dut, could you please kindly get out of my head?
It is a good album. Their all time best has to be Mutter (though my favorite song, Klavier, is on Sehnsucht, go figure).Quote:

Led Zeppelin I, Boston, Van Halen.
Was Pretty Hate Machine Trent's first?? I was under the impression it was preceeded by other releases ... . If it was his debut, then I would add it to this list.
Apparently, in the Guns N' Roses greatest hits liner notes, Appetite for Destruction is misspelt as Appetittie for Destruction
True Story
Don't know if it was Trent's first, but it was the first NIN full album. It's Halo Two, with Halo One being the "Down In It" singles/remixes.Quote:

Easy one, Meet the Beatles or Introducing the Beatles depending on what country you live in. No Tony Sheridan and the Beatles doesnt count as a debut album ~;)
I disagree. Mutter didn't flow so much as an album as Sehnsucht did, for example, although the songs on it are mostly quite good. I think the raw feeling of Herzeleid hasn't been topped by any of the more "smoothed-over" releases that came later, excepting, of course, the Fan Edition of the Engle single, which includes those three very, very old unreleased songs.Quote:

The killer's album was one I listened to for about two months solid, so that gets my vote. ~D
The Band- Music From Big Pink. Brillant stuff there, from a brilliant band.
I'd have to go with that over my other favorites, though there are of course great ones that I love.
Hard to beat Led Zep 1.
For a first song...
I am the One and Only - Chesney Hawkes
No, that's certainly one of the best debut albums of all time. Killer riffs, fine songs, clear sounds, what else could you ask for? ~DQuote:
