You can still list it. It's your list!


OK, I rounded out my 5. Man, having braincramps tonight..
Great list! And I knew I could come up with 5 so I wanted them to be original. And I just thought of another one: The Ramones first album. Though they had a great run up to Road to Ruin, that first album is their best.

This is tough because it is rarely a debut album that’s my favorite. So you might see some bands listed that I like but the artist is definitely not a favorite artist but the debut album is probably the only album I have and like by that band/artist.

First to come to my mind is, please don’t throw bricks at me…..
Cyndi Lauper ~ She’s So Unusual (all her fun songs!)
In Living Colour ~ Vivid
Pearl Jam ~ Ten
Lynyrd Skynyrd ~ Pronounced
Van Halen ~ Van Halen
The Cars ~ The Cars (very close with Candy -O)
The Band ~ Music From Big Pink
Guns N Roses ~ Appetite For Destruction
Boston ~ Boston
Testament ~ The Legacy
Ozzy Osbourne ~ Blizzard of Ozz
Dio ~ Holy Diver
Black Crowes ~ Shake Your Money Maker

Absolutely!
I understand. I remember the first time I listened to the debut, I had to double check to make sure it was Foreigner. Definitely a Prog rock album instead of the popular stuff from later on…..which BTW my fav would be “4”.
