Best Debut Album

**Big King Sanctaphrax** · 05-20-2005, 20:49

What do you guys think the best debut album of all time is?

Contenders I can think of off the top of my head-
Boston-Boston
The Jimi Hendrix Experience-Are You Experienced?
Led Zeppelin-Led Zeppelin I

Prounouced by Skynyrd, or maybe Herzlied by Rammstein, or Experienced by JHI

**The Wizard** · 05-20-2005, 21:04

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.

Vital Remains' Into Cold Darkness was pretty good, Cruachan's Tuatha Na Gael still is, and Death's Scream Bloody Gore will always rule.

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.

Anyway, ^^What BKS said.

In addition:

Jeff Buckley - Grace
Cream - Fresh Cream

**Big King Sanctaphrax** · 05-20-2005, 21:48

Gah, I forgot about Grace. Good choice.

**Big_John** · 05-20-2005, 21:50

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...

**The Wizard** · 05-20-2005, 22:09

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...

Also, Pete Rock & CL Smooth - All Souled Out is a fine album.

It is a good album. Their all time best has to be Mutter (though my favorite song, Klavier, is on Sehnsucht, go figure).

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.

**Kaiser of Arabia** · 05-21-2005, 00:26

True, but some of the songs on mutter were brilliant: Mutter, Sonne, Links 234, Mein Herz Brennt, Speiluhr, and Zwitter were just amazing (nothing compared to Klavier, but on par with Engel from Sehnsuch and Rammstein from Herzeleid).

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.
