Sorry, but the debut of The Clash did not do much for me; London Calling on the other hand...  "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stockmarket beat, but the man worth-while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." -Judge Smails |

The Samples is it for me....
NIN - Pretty Hate Machine Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker Fiona Apple - Tidal ----Good call. The Fratellis - Hot Fuss Todd Snider - Songs for the Daily Planet Edie Brickell - Shooting Rubber Bands.... U2 - Boy REM - Murmur |

I googled "top debut albums", and checked out about 5 lists...ALL of them included The Clash/The Clash. I'm not ever going to argue personal music prefferences, but I was just surprised that no one else mentioned it. |

I agree; it should have been mentioned. "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stockmarket beat, but the man worth-while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." -Judge Smails |

Might be cheating, but I have to go with "The Traveling Wilburys Volume 1"

The first thing I thought of ... the one my 13-year old son likes to play along to on his guitars ... and the very first album I ever owned.
The one, the only, the already-named-here ... Boston. The other one that came to mind was GNR, Appetite for Destruction, but it's a distant second. --------------- cheers, y'all! |

Many great ones listed above including:
Self titled albums by Van Halen, Boston and Rage, as well as Weezer Blue album, GNR Appetite and Hendrix R U Experienced. Noticeable omissions: Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bullocks Stevie Ray Vaughn - Texas Flood (this album still speaks to me). This message has been edited. Last edited by: Red guy in a blue state, |

1. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
2. Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced Artists with incredible 1st albums and who would never eclipse them: The Doors - The Doors Van Halen- Van Halen Boston - Boston Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones The Clash - The Clash - The US Release doesn’t really count since they swapped out some LP songs off the real 1st issue (a British release) with a few proven hit singles for the US release. ___________________________________________________ It's good to try them young too and then let them age - James Suckling Infanticide can be very satisfying - Robert Parker I drink mine young to avoid disappointments - James Laube |

Wow, some excellent choices here.
Hard not to have PJ and "Ten" on any list. Ditto Nirvan and "Bleach". The Tea Party ==> The Tea Party U2 ==> Boy The White Stripes ==> The White Stripes Bush ==> 16 Stone (6 x plat!) NIN ==> Pretty Little Hate Machine |

WTF? LA Woman is a commercial jingle compared to the inspired 1st album. Dude, Women and Children First and 1984 were better albums than what you’ve picked and neither live up to VH - VH. ___________________________________________________ It's good to try them young too and then let them age - James Suckling Infanticide can be very satisfying - Robert Parker I drink mine young to avoid disappointments - James Laube |

hey red guy,
Nothing's Shocking is actually Jane's Second album, although their first was pretty good too. Ever notice the reflection in Perry Ferrell's sunglasses on the "shocking" album inside cover? |

GD- 1984 was the most commerical album VH ever released (with DLR). You can have Jump, Panama, Everbody Wants Some and I'll Wait; I'll take Mean Streets, Unchained, Hang 'Em High and Little Guitars  This message has been edited.

 Oops, my bad. I forgot about their 1st self titled album. I guess I should post this on the best 2nd album thread . I saw them at the Palladium in LA with the Pixies just after they release Ritual de lo Habitual. Awsome freaking show. |
