Best Debut Albums (LP's)

Direkt · Post by **Direkt** » Tue Mar 25, 2008 5:25 pm

I was thinking the other day, when I was out on a country drive, what are the better debut albums out there?

Most musicians have fairly ordinary debut LP's.
But some bands/artists come storming out of nowhere with such quality debut LP's that they never better, whereas others keep building upon them, album after album.

Name your best debut LP's here:

For me:
Counting Crows. 'August and Everything After'
Notorious B.I.G. 'Ready To Die'
Fugees 'The Score'
Pearl Jam 'Ten'
