Looking forward to hearing the Velvet Revolver debut.

I'm very excited that 3/5ths of Guns N Roses are making music together again.

Cool point:  Duff was actually in his 3rd year at a Seatle university when Slash called him to come make music.  Can you imagine going to college with and having classes someone like that?

     I read a review by Rolling Stone magazine saying that Led Zepplin's first album belonged in the top ten of all time. The reviewer also said that if it hadn't been for that album he wouldn't have gotten laid in college.
     I've seen them twice in concert and they were great.

:cool:

hmmm too subjective to name the "best"  that could mean a million different things....

 Heart's debut was pretty kick arse "Dream Boat Annie"

 Jimmy Hendrix - in my opinion the best evar due to how he changed how we listen to music, oh ok maybe it was the acid :D

 Led Zep......

: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 Mili Vanili, Blame it on the Rain.....

"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.

 Dude you just brought back all kinds of memories!!! 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


ahhh the good ole days :)  Remember HellStar? :D

LOL, yeah I remember Hellstar.  I had my official "Houston Headbanger" card for years.  That week was the best week of my life musically.  Metallica, then Maiden, then U2 all in the same week.  Metallica at Cardi's is still the loudest single gig I have ever been to.  My ears were ringing for days.  Do you remember who opened for Metallica?  W.A.S.P opened for Maiden.  Hehehehehe...
Title: Best debut album?
Post by: Udie on October 07, 2003, 10:27:21 AM
Armored Saint opened for Metallica, but I was at the Maiden show so I missed them (that was the Thursday night gig)  You must have been at the Tuesday night Metallica show :)    Yeah, that was one of the best weeks of my rock and roll life :D  And yes that Metallica show was the loudest concert I ever went to.  I couldn't hear my teachers the next day at school, ok well nothing was different :D

Post by: DiabloTX on October 07, 2003, 10:29:36 AM
Yes sir!  Armored Saint it is!  I remember when we were at TTNR meeting both AS and Metallica, AS was first.  A guy a little behind me leaned in to AS and asked them, "Why are you opening for these jokers?"  :rofl :rofl

 Metallica was the stuff at my high school.  Though the radio sucked back then and they wouldn't play ANY Metallica on 101 KLOL.  KPFT used to play some on satruday night's headbangers ball, but that was it.

 Did you used to go cruise the strip on Fri/Sat down on Westheimer?

Oh hell yes I did.  1965 GTO or my 77 Trans Am.  Westy was the bomb for rides and chicks.  And if you wanted to see a cool live act, Cardi's was right there.  What high school did you go to Udie?

Post by: jigsaw on October 07, 2003, 12:52:42 PM
Oh, this is gonna be a tough one. I'll have to break it into decades. Yes, I'm really *that* old :p/

70s Boston's first album
80s Night Ranger's first album
90s Nothing really impressed me for a "first"
00s So far Evanescence has been parked in my CD player

Some of the things I take into consideration is not only the "I like it (duh) factor", but also the quality of the production. There have been a few releases that I thought were musically interesting, but the production just flat out blew goat cheese. Lately it seems that since the cost of making a quality production is affordable, more of the music just blows.

 I was supposed to be class of '87 ended up class of '87 :D(actually got my GED before my class graduated)  I had no kin folk in Houston with the last name McNulty.  Where was Clear Creek High?  I remember the name but have no idea where it is.

Boston's debut album has to be the best selling. How many years was that thing on the charts?

Boston was also the 1st rock concert I ever went to (looooooong over due). Bought scalped tickets and sat 3rd row at Tarrant County Convention Center.:D

Post by: Kekule on October 07, 2003, 03:00:31 PM
Udie you are thinking of Garage Days Re-Revisited, which was released after Master of Puppets.  The Re-Re part is important, I reckon. :)

The Metallica album before Kill em All?

Beats me.  Maybe the promo, "No Life Til' Leather"

Metal Up Your bellybutton was the original title for Kill 'Em All, but never released with the original name.

Regardless, for the all intensive purposes, and the definition that really stands up to this thread, Kill 'Em All was Metallica's debut album.

Not sure what Saurdaukar is smokin'. :D

I am hesitant to throw this out amongst the metal heads...

but Pearl Jams' "Ten" was a pretty good debut album.  I saw them open for Alice in Chains in a small club in Portland, well before grunge hit big.  Grunge would not have been so bad had it not exploded onto every single radio station. lol

Rage Against the Machine I'll never forget the first time I heard that, I about crapped myself!

Led Zep I   Out of all there albums, this one seems to have the most raw power and energy.

Alice in Chains "Facelift" IMO not thier best album (that would be "Dirt) but it helped start a new musical movement and get all that crap hair metal off the radio.

The Verve Pipe "Villians" I know what your thinking, one hit wonders. But it is such a great power pop album. Just about every person I play that album for learns to love it.

GN'R "Appitite for Destruction" The best part about that album is it came out in era when LA was putting out absolute crap. It is such a dirty, sleazy sounding album, a complete 180 from what was being played on MTV and radio at the time.

And last but not least:

Spinal Tap "Shark Sandwich"

I have to agree with Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine. I'm sure it helps that I was a Jr/Sr in High School when it hit big, but it really did seem like the Pinnacle of teen angst music.

Man, Trent Reznor sure was pissed off at someone lol.
