Best debut Rock Album?

[sooneron]

What are your thoughts?

I started wondering this as I was driving this AM and Break On Through came on. That was one bad *** first album by The Doors that didn't really sound like much that was out there at the time. Not saying that it gets my vote, but it got me to thinking.

i'm pretty partial to Appetite and Ten

[sooneron]

Interesting, those two didn't cross my mind. I think I was starting too far back in the old days. The Clash's debut was friggin good.

[OUDoc]

Boston.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Appetite For Destruction
Back In Black (if you wanna count it for the Brian Johnson factor)

Uh.... no

just sayin...some people might (I don't)

Most bands save their kickass **** for their sophomore albums

Please name one. There's a reason why sophomore and idiot are synonymous.

i'd like to hear this as well

the first album is generally based on a lot of crap people have been working on for a long time. then once it kicks *** they are put under pressure to do it again under time constraints.

August and Everything After

[BigRedJed]

Are You Experienced?

Led Zeppelin I

B-52s (Don't Laugh - before he died John Lennon said it was his favorite album ever)

Velvet Underground & Nico

The Cars

Those belong at the top of the list somewhere. I'm just not sure where.

[King Crimson]

i could live with a list that had the Doors at #1. just some others:

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band: Safe as Milk (another Lennon fave).

The Stooges: The Stooges

If you're talking about the best, shouldn't the majority of people have actually heard of them?

[BigRedJed]

There's prolly some people here scratching their head at my inclusion of The Cars. Well, you people can suck it.

Dude, if you haven't heard of The Doors, we can't help you.

which reminds me, the Weezer Blue Album is pretty flippin' sweet

[Sooner04]

Weezer's Blue album is outstanding. One of the very favorites of my youth. They haven't put out anything worthwhile since.

The Toadies - Rubberneck: absolutely awesome album. Those guys got rich and, well, good night. It's one you might not remember, but it was pretty good.

Zeppelin I was a pretty good blues album. I have a hard time calling it R-n-R. Now, Zeppelin II is balls-to-the-wall rock and roll. I can listen to that album all the way through and there's not a weak link in the bunch.

I hate Boston, but their debut was great. I can't imagine how wild it must've been to put the Doors in for the first time. Little medication here and there, plug that it, HOLY COW!

Back in Black? Get the **** out of here with that ****.

[SoonerProphet]

I thought Gish was a great debut, everything after that has sucked.

[mdklatt]

Appetite for Destruction

[BigRedJed]

I totally concur on Gish, except I also loved Siamese Dream. Sorry. I agree about everything after that sucking.
