I'm also struck by what a breath of fresh air Travis/Snow Patrol/The Killers/The Strokes/Biffy Clyro/Coldplay are, possibly even signifying the resurgence of blah blah blah.

Unoriginal as it may be, Franz Ferdinand’s debut was a fine record. Strong pop tunes, whatever you think of their lineage.

no one can deny their lack of talent and creativity

they break back the boundaries of banality

Opinions are like arseholes, or some other such cliché.

Some more cracking first albums:

Björk — Debut
Weezer — Weezer (the Blue Album)
Tricky — Maxinquaye
Fugazi — 13 Songs
Stone Roses — Stone Roses
The Pharcyde — Bizarre Ride 2 the Pharcyde
The Specials — Specials
Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy — Hipocrisy is the Greatest Luxury
Gorillaz — Gorillaz

For my money, there’s a contest between RAtM and The Specials for the title of ‘finest debut so far’.

Fuck, I'd forgot all about "Bizarre Ride 2 The Pharcyde". Good call Tony, some vintage Jay Dee productions on there.

Enter The Wu Tang and The Ramones debut can't be topped in my opinion though.

Snoop Dogg - Doggy Style

Tool_ogt · 15th January 2007, 5:56pm

Thats a hard as fuck question to be honest but I shall put in some I like.

Helmet - Strap It On
Bjork - Debut
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine
Sublime - 40oz To Freedom
Fugazi - Repeater
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Mogwai - Young Team

Wasn’t 13 Songs Fugazis debut? I mean, I know it was a collection of previously-released EP tracks, but so are a lot of folks’ first albums.

I would'nt count it but for the sake of no starting any sort of arguments then ignore my fugazi entry.

Some utterly genius suggestions in here. I'd go with Pearl Jam - Ten, RATM, or Biffy's Blackened Sky.

Syxx · 15th January 2007, 7:46pm

Nas - Illmatic

The Dresden Dolls released a blinding debut not that long ago. Far from being an all-time great though.
