There and to the left a bit |
Blimey...so many to choose couldn't possibly pick one but off the top of my head:
Employment - Kaiser Chiefs
The Specials - The Specials
One Step Beyond - Madness
Searching For The Young Soul Rebels - Dexys Midnight Runners |

Jeff Buckley - Grace (if you don't count the live E.P.)
Van Halen - Van Halen
Counting Crows - August and Everything After
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes (no one counts Y Kant Tori Read!)
Jellyfish - Bellybutton
Patti Smith - Horses
I'd struggle to choose between those!

"Greetings From Ashbury Park N.J. - Bruce Springsteen"
I'd vote for that, if The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle didn't wipe the floor with it and wasn't my favourite album of all time! 
Plus, the live versions of all the songs he played from it were much better than the studio versions, particularly Lost in the Flood from the Hammersmith '75 show. |

"Only by the night, Kings of Leon
Not sure a bands 4th album would count a debut"
I did like their debut though, when they were more like a punk Tom Petty, rather than an even more wank U2 |

"What's the best debut album I go for beatles please please me."
Whatever People Say I am Thats What Im Not - Arctic Monkeys
Section 80. - Kendrick Lamar
College Dropout - Kanye West
Not strictly an album (or his first) but Chance 3 - Chance the Rapper is close to a modern classic of the mixtape era |

"
Marquee Moon by Television "
I forgot that one! I love that album
I was playing it when my daughter can home from school once and she said 'Ha, I thought you didn't like The Strokes, dad'
I replied that I didn't and this album was the reason why! |

"I don't think you can beat Eminem's Recovery Album 2010.
Lyrical masterpiece!
Wasn't that his 7th or 8th album?"

"Guns N Roses - live like a suicide.
It was an E.P., not an album...neither was it live for that matter but that's for another day "
Splitting (backcombed) hairs. It was their debut release - that was more than a single - but if you so insist then Appetite was the best debut album. I'm not a fan of the band but it was incredible and still pretty timeless. |

It was a Geffen marketing tool, specifically released to create a buzz for their debut 'album'! If we want to split hairs |

"Looks like Definitely Maybe is 'winning' this hands down  "
I have to say that while I can't fucking stand Oasis as debut albums go, and as arrogant statements of intent go, Definitely Maybe totally nailed it |

That would be my take on it too, pretty much!
They then became the rock band to like if you didn't actually like rock music but did like Stone Island jackets, Beatles haircuts and Clark's boots! |

Been in the industry for 25 years mate. Well aware of the history of it. Your comment not really splitting hairs there. Just getting your point across that you know stuff. Which in itself is probably splitting more hairs! |

why does being in the music industry mean you know about Guns n Roses more than a fan? |

Find me a piece of written word that refers to '...Suicide...' as their debut album and I'll readily concede the point. It's the same reasons as I put the caveats about 'Grace and 'Little Earthquakes' in my original list.
Unless you just wanted to be a smart arse, who wanted to list a relatively unknown E.P. to boost your music industry insider kudos points? I'll take that as well, mate. |

Lots of crackers mentioned.
Ten - Pearl Jam is a monster as is Artics Monekys and Oasis...
I'm gonna add Gomez - Bring it On.It came out of absolutely nowhere to win the Mercury prize in 98 I think...

Er naw, and did I insult you anywhere? Don't think I did. I posted what I class as their first long playing work. I like it as it's rough and has a real live feel to it, even though not actually live per say. You were the one who arguably got 'smart arsed' by going all Wikipedia on my arse for liking a record.
My industry involvement doesn't trump or otherwise, a fan. Never said it did. Was merely pointing out that I know how it works with regard to 'fake' self released albums etc
Glad to see the forum hasn't changed though   |

Actually, I apologise, I missed the smiley face at the end of that comment, it was genuinely a (snarky, I'll admit) joke
And I didn't need to go to Wiki for it, I bought the damn thing from Shades back in the day after reading a quarter page article on them in Sounds way before Appetite came out.
We all square now? |

All good in the hood. I remember a mate telling me about this band 'guns n roses' and how they were going to be huge.
I laughed at him. Gave them a year.
Last laugh went to him though.

I got '...Suicide...', thought it was OK, a nice raw punky, metal release but nothing more. Then they released ' Appetite...' and everything about it was a quantum leap: production, performance, song-writing, diverse influences, then it all went to shit!
I saw them at the Marquee and Manchester Apollo in '87 and two years later, it was Wembley Stadium, too much too soon and no room for emotional growth (plus, musically it was all over once Adler and Stradlin had left). |

I had a similar info drop on Arctic Monkeys. My GF at the time knew a lad who had a band, who subsequently met them playing small venue gigs in which they shared EP's, at the time Who The Fuck's Arctic Monkeys was only really available at their gigs, I jammed to it, then forgot about it until I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor came out, & whilst they were good, I never knew they'd being one of the best British bands of all time, or certainly on their way to such a mantle |

""Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J." - Bruce Springsteen
I had that on vinyl *feels old*"
Our PE teacher used to play it at school during lessons (as well as the next 3 albums!) He took us on a school trip to see him on 'The River' tour |

"Or
Generation Terrorists - The Manics "
Fucking love the manics but really don't like this album. About 5 or 6 great tunes but then a load of overproduced nonsense that goes on waaaay too long.
The idea of the manics back then was a great one (literary references, dressing up, doing interviews the way they did) but they took a few years to back it up musically. |

Fair point and no, they never made a bad album but for me, bar 'hatful of hollow' which is great from start to finish, the other albums are quite patchy. I don't most of the songs on the first half of 'The Smiths' or the production on all of it, but thats only my opinion |

"Kanye west- college dropout..
Before he became the biggest arse on the planet 
Adam."
He's just misunderstood I think. He's so ahead of his time its crazy. For instance, his Graduation album feature the now famous Bear wearing a pair of Nike Air Mags, 4 years later Nike re-released them & they became the most expensive pair of shoes if all time. Even his Yeezy S1 collection was laughed at, the oversized denim & tshirts, military colours. Go in any high street shop & thats what theyre stocking!
Kanye West us a genius, you just have to remember that in 2 years time from when he says something, you'll realise he was right all along. |

I dont like Oasis because their songs are mediocre & the brothers pretens to absolute hate eachother as a promotion tool for their side projects & any potential tours, as well as any renunion. I also think it was Liam G who said Arctic Monkeys were crap because Alex Turners lyrics never made sense, this from a man who said "slowly walking down the hall, faster than a cannon ball"
Blur were better anyway |

The B-52's: The B-52's Easily one of the greatest debut albums ever recorded.
The Stooges: The Stooges.... Opens with 1969.... what a belter of a tune!
Alright Still: Lily Allen is also a blinding first album.
Boy in da corner: Dizzee Rascal. One of the greatest UK rap albums ever. |

Some cracking choices there
Its not my favourite Stooges album
but conceptually and as a statement of intent its just perfect. Definitely one of my favourite debuts.

Let's be dead honest here ,oasis got their timing bang on came along at the end of the Manchester scene and smashed it ...Noel himself admits to stealing virtually every tune he's erm written ....but love them or loathe then they are dam good at what they do |
