So on point recgord27!
Saw the 'Westway Boys' in 1977-they buzzed like an MG42 on the Russian front.
Believe or not I was staying in a Catholic retreat in the Derbyshire countryside and took a cassette copy with me-truth be known I got more of a calling from Joe's Telecaster and Mick's Goldtop than I did from any letter from the Corinthians!
Janie Jones, 48 hours, White Riot, Garageland are and were stuff of legends - The Damned and their debut offering comes a close second.

Hot on the heels of British discourse with all things political - these Welsh Wizards (not excluding Budgie!) slammed what was wrong into 3 minutes on a regular basis. Generation Terrorists is a debut filled with anger, social comment and slum beauty.
I was blessed to see them with the late and missing Richie... I recall that I was teleported back to the Roxy or Marquee some 12 or 13 years previous.
It wasn't all 'Madchester' then.... urgent music at it's best!
"The Only Thing You Gave Me Was The Boredom I Suffocate In, Living In Cheap Dreams"....

The Manic Street Preachers - Motown Junk.

List your five favorite debut albums which also happens to be your favorite album from that artist.

Hmm..
OK...

Metallica-Kill 'Em All
Queensryche-Warning
Boston-s/t
GnR-Appetite
Dio-Holy Diver


What I've found during this exercise is that in many cases, my favorite album is a band's 2nd or 3rd album..

 

[mobiusclimber]

Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!
Dio - Holy Diver
The Smiths - S/T (particularly the US version that adds "This Charming Man")
MDC - Millions of Dead Cops
TsuShiMaMiRe - Souzou Ninshin
Nas - Illmatic

 

[TACdtf]

Dio - Holy Diver

Dammit! I forgot Holy Diver. That was dumb.

I would have put Metallica's Kill 'em All if you hadn't listed it first.
