:rofl  got ya! :rofl   Took long enough to get a bite!  You most have been posting this while I was editing the "joke" out of my post.

 You sir are a true Metallica fan ;)  though you forgot Hit the Lights, Jump in the Fire, Anesthesia (pulling teeth) and a few others on that album like,  Metal Malitia! :D

 Just had to drop that in there and see how long it took before I got called on it :)  I was lucky enough to see Cliff twice, the first of which was at Cardi's in Houston, Ride the Lightning tour. Great little club!  Saw Megadeth there too.

What about RIde the Lightning?  ALthough not their first, by far their finest.   Very close 2nd was Kill Em' All.

What about Mili Vanili, Blame it on the Rain.....


Just kidding!!!!

Tom Petty, Full Moon Fever.  Was the first non-record I ever purchased. Great CD.

Technically speaking, Kill em All was not Metallicas debut album.

My vote goes for Fuel's Sunburn.

"Please Please Me" was Beatles first, and a good debut

Less than 2 years after being rejected by Decca records because
"guitar groups were on their way out" , The Beatles had 16 number 1 records, then went on to have a few more :)


"The Cars" was pretty good

Boston's First of course, has to be ranked among the best.

Led Zeppelin's first probaby best of all.

The Clash: The Clash

Elvis Costello: My Aim Is True

REM: Murmer

Pixies: Come on Pilgrim/Surfer Rosa

and hmm... Stumped for a 5th.

Another interesting thread might be 'final albums'. There's tons of bands that got old and lost their way but continue/d to put out mediocre records. It'd be interesting to see a list of bands/records that went out in a blaze of glory... maybe even their best work, then *poof*, gone.

Kill em All was a great album, even if it wasn't their first. (i cant remember what the 1st one was, though i've heard of it before)

Motorbreath is a great song to listen to while dogfightin in AH. I used to throw that cd on when I got really pumped.

It sucks that Metallica has gone so far down the tubes. I consider them two bands - pre and post black album. The shorter their hair got, the crappier the music was.

News to me.  Unless its an album put out by a major label, and distributed nationally, its not a debut album.  Now Metallica DID have a song on a compilation album put out by ,I think, Megaforce records, in the early '80s.  The album was called No Life 'Til Leather or something like that.

EDIT - It was probably Metal Blade records, not Megaforce.

I forgot about Texas Tapes 'n Records!!!  EVERY band must of stopped there once or twice :)  So you were at the metallica gig huh?  I went the night of the Maiden concert and couldn't believe my ears when Metallica was louder at Cardi's than Maiden was at the Summit :D
