Title: Favorite debuts plus not-so-favorite debuts Post by: modestmaus on January 17, 2013, 02:55:59 PM off the top of my head:
10cc - s/t They Might Be Giants - s/t Weezer - s/t (Blue) Velvet Underground & Nico XTC - White Music Negative junk: I really love the following bands and what they would go onto do but the debut LPs of The Beach Boys and Sparks leave me pretty cold. :/ With U2's "Boy" I tend to go back and forth between "Hey, this is alright!" and "Hey, this is boring." I feel kind of bad because there's all sorts of fans who insist on "Boy"/"October" being some of their strongest material and while both albums have various tracks that I do enjoy count me as one of those who consider "War" to be U2's first 'actually enjoyable overall' album.

Spaceman on January 17, 2013, 03:12:45 PM With U2's "Boy" I tend to go back and forth between "Hey, this is alright!" and "Hey, this is boring." That's what I do with every U2 album. All great: Led Zeppelin Are You Experienced? - Jimi Hendrix Experience The Velvet Underground & Nico More Than A New Discovery - Laura Nyro Freak Out! - The Mothers Of Invention Funkadelic - Funkadelic Safe As Milk - Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band The Rolling Stones Please Please Me - The Beatles After School Session - Chuck Berry Elvis Presley Talking Heads '77 - Talking Heads Ramones The Stooges Kick Out The Jams - MC5 The New York Dolls Aerosmith Horses - Patti Smith Queen The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn - Pink Floyd The Doors Los Angeles - X Tidal - Fiona Apple The Clash Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols Judee Sill Elastica Nazz Emitt Rhodes Betty Davis Title: Re: Favorite debuts plus not-so-favorite debuts Post by: Sheriff John Stone on January 17, 2013, 08:19:49 PM A couple of favorites:

"Blue Oyster Cult" "Marquee Moon" Television "The Who Sing My Generation" All LPs that sprung fully formed and realized and rank with their best (if not their best)..
