How the following one slipped by on a Classic Rock Forum is beyond me:

That's because it didn't! I posted it mid-way down page 2

Personally, I find this one to be a cracker debut album:

 

[Death on Credit]

I'm surprised that a lot of these haven't been mentioned yet...







And most surprising of all...

 

[OzzyVanHalen]

This Album Was Just Simply MindBlowing. This Album Is One Of The Greatest Debut Albums In Guitar Rock. It Introduced The World To One Of The Greatest Guitar Players Of All Time Eddie Van Halen.



The Mighty Zeppelin Debut!!

Even After Ozzy Left Black Sabbath He Still Went Solo And Put Out A Amazing Debut Album With Randy Rhoads.

Some Others:

Quite a list there OzzyVanHalen.

I have all of them except Kiss's debut.

Nice list as well Death On Credit, except for the Leonard Cohen album...I am not a big poetry fan myself.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I have all of them except Kiss's debut.

I have it and I'm not all that blown away by it honestly. KISS sound much better live than on just about any of their studio albums. I heard songs like "Strutter" and "Black Diamond" in their live incarnations first and (for me at least) the original versions just sound weaker.

I know the feeling I am the same with Ted Nugent, I like his studio albums alright, but Double Live Gonzo is the first album of his I ever played so it's firmly planted it's banner as his best work in my library.

I have to smile when I asked Bucky and Thumper and MP about which Kiss albums to get they all recommended Alive I, II and III...I don't know if that covers them all but most bands I am content with their best live recording and that's it.

 

[Cosmic Harmony]

I agree with Ted. "Double Live Gonzo" is his best. That's when Ted was at his absolutely peak.

I firmly believe that if you pick up a live album from just about any band (unless it's just a crappy live album) then you can tell if that band is good and has actual talent.
