nazz(s/t)....buffalo springfield(s/t)... |
I do not understand your post J. |
(s/t) means "Self Titled" so Nazz-Nazz and Buffalo Springfield-Buffalo Springfeild is what Jaybo is referring to.
I'll add:
The Eagles-The Eagles |
I agree with Norah Jones Come Away With Me. A couple of others... Mumford & Sons.. Sigh No More Boston...Boston |
Black Sabbath, Dire Straits, The Chicago Climax Blues Band, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Little Feat, The Pretenders - all self-titled.
Relax, have a Goose Island Bourbon County and listen to some Roxy Music... |
Steele Dan- Can't buy a thrill. |
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 1 Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath Metallica - Kill 'Em All |
Counting Crows August and everything after. Boston self titled |
Here are mine, and I actually got my idea when Bill (Audiofeil) brought it up on another thread.
The Beatles - Please, Please Me
Stone Temple Pilots - Core
Led Zeppelin
Sade - Diamond Life
Nora Jones - Come Away with Me
Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill
Bad Co
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True'
Jet - Get Born (ahh so much promise, then nothing)
Let me add the Cars too, great idea SR!! |
Uncle Tupelo, "No Depression"
John |
Thanks MoFi. I google'd it first w/no success.
Gkella- Mumford & Sons.. Sigh No More- What an excellent modern album. |
Jimi Hendrix, "Are you experienced" King Crimson, "In the court of the crimson king" Led Zeppelin (eponymous) Van Halen I Mr.Bungle (eponymous)[not for the faint of heart,but brilliant debut] Robert Plant Allison Krause "Raising Sand" Not sure if debut as solo artist counts but; Alice Cooper "Welcome to my nightmare" Elvis Costello "Spike" |
Jaybo's pics plus "Television", "The Remains" and Neil Young's ST'd first solo effort, which all pale in comparison to George Gobel's Las Vegas Sands LP. |
Tracy Chapman / (self-titled)
Rickie Lee Jones / (self-titled)
Cowboy Junkies / The Trinity Session (OK, it was their sophmore effort)
Joni Mitchell / Songs to a Seagull
Bob Dylan / (self-titled) |
Tracy Chapman's first album was just spectacular. Followus never matched tha power of that first one. The Roches. Also first album that was a wonderful introduction. |
I don't understand it either, what the heck is debute ??? |
Kate bush-the kick inside Oasis-Definately maybe Goldfrapp-felt mountain The sundays-reading writing arithmetic Sex pistols-never mind the bollocks |
Damn! Justlisten made me remember The Sex Pistols: Nevermind The Bollocks LoL |

It's called "This Was". |
'
Man, what a tasty list of music so far, I have a few to add :
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
Springsteen - Greeting from Asbury Park NJ
U2 - Boy
Aerosmith - Aerosmith
All of these bands went on to put out some great music but I always go back to the early stuff to get their raw, honest sound. Aerosmith - what happened to them? Good lord ... I wouldn’t be surprised if the next release is elevator music. I believe Zep was probably the best example … Nothing ever sounded like Zeppelin I to me. Sure, there were glimmers but I can play some of the blues tracks like “I can’t quit you baby” or “Babe I’m gonna leave you” and hear real blues power with a hard rock edge. Man, it was brilliant work. I live for the day the Zeppelin box set comes out. I hope the people from Mobile Fidelity are reading this …
PS – Where is my “Candy O” LP? |
And for the punk/alternative crowd...
Ramones - self-titled
The Clash - self-titled
New York Dolls - self-titled
Television - Marquee Moon |
Paul Simon's first solo album. |
Lindisfarne-Nicely Out of Tune CSN-CSN GD-GD |
Many good choices above! How can we forget Pretenders, Pretenders?? That is one well recorded album--I recently picked up a mint first pressing and it sounds amazing. |
|
LHasa De Sela -- La Llorona Can -- Soon Over Babalooma |
Guns N' Roses Appetite For Destruction |
Texas Flood, Stevie Ray Vaughan. His best album. |
Off the top of my head:
Kate and Anna McGarrigle-Self Titled Warren Zevon-Self Titled Dire Straits-Self Titled Elvis Costello-My Aim is True Bob Dylan-Self Titled Jackson Browne-Self Titled Steely Dan-Can't Buy a Thrill Bad Company-Self Titled Doors-Self Titled R.E.M.-Murmur |
I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple of dozen but here's a few. Also, good call on Uncle Tupelo, Television and The Cars!
Pixies - Surfer Rosa Townes Van Zandt - For the Sake of the Song Fugazi - Repeater Smart Went Crazy - Now we're even Leonard Cohen - Songs of |
I've already forgot what was the first album of Talking Heads, but all of them are if not perfect, than near-perfect. |
I agree with some of the responses above. The Doors was the first one that came to mind. How 'bout Santana? |
I'm adding a few great suggestions to mine here as well:
The Cars
SRV - Texas Flood, sublime
Van Halen
G n R - Appetite for Destruction

All my faves mentioned. Will venture out a little and add:
Roxy Music - self-titled
Robbie Robertson - self-titled
Chris Whitley - Living with the Law
Jerry Harrison - The Red and the Black
Pat Metheny "Group" - self-titled |
Two absolute killer debut albums:
New Radicals - Maybe you've been brainwashed too WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS BAND????
Freak Power - Drive Tru Booty |
Ryan Adams -- "Heartbreaker" The Jam -- "In the City" Suzanne Vega -- "Suzanne Vega" The Velvet Underground -- "The Velvet Underground and Nico" |

Heart- Dreamboat Annie- does it get better than this? Pat Benatar- In The Heat Of The Night
MacDT- I don't think The Cars can have two debute albums as you listed ;-) ). Nice try though! |
SR, you need to re-read, I said Candy-O is not a debut album, along with the others listed. |
|
SR - great call on Pat Benatar, what a voice. I need to look for that on vinyl again. |
