Greatest debut album

Mostly listening to rock music from the 60s and 70s, thus I am asking a biased question. My greatest debut album is From Genesis to Revelation by Genesis.  I understand there were production issues in the making of the album but Gabriel's voice is astonishing on this LP.   I wish I could find a live version of Into the Wilderness but can not. Any help in that would be appreciated.  Look forward to hearing others opinions for selfish reasons as I want to grow my collection and appreciate the opinions represented here.

@slaw, I beat you to The Traveling Wilburys! I left off the Little Village album (weak material imo. But they were one of the best live bands I've ever seen & heard. Ry Cooder is God ;-), but could have and should have listed that band's true debut album, John Hiatt's Bring The Family. Fantastic!

I suspect there might be a little bit of confusion over what was meant by greatest debut album in the OP. 😳 I interpret it to mean the most auspicious debut album. Or perhaps the most historically significant. So, in that light I would add Elvis Presley but not Bing Crosby, even though the guy sold a lot of records.
