A remark from jonners about the Rush debut..never owned it or listened to it in its entirety.. just wondering what bands/artists have debut albums that folks reckon are still worth it....????
Iron Maiden - s/t
Montrose
Asia
Boston
Pink Floyd
Metallica
Killing is my Business by Megadeth is a very worthy debut
Do debuts count when its by a main member of a band who has then gone solo? if so:
Steven Wilson
Soulfly
Bruce Dickinson
are all very good
Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell
Marillion
King Crimson
Mars Volta
Mahavishnu Orchestra
Cardiacs
Pendragon
God Speed you black emperor
Emerson Lake and Palmer
Todd Rundgren's Utopia
Dan Reed Network - s/t

There is nearly a concept suite on their debut.
The Phamtom of the Opera is about this darkly romantic mysterious figure someone like Dracula the devil?.
Then it goes in to the instrumental Transylvania which speaks for itself.
Strange world seems to be about a ghostly figure who never grows old living in a strange world, maybe a Dracula figure.

No its absolute drivel. The second one on the other hand....
Badlands
Off the top of my head - Girl, Zeppelin, Motorhead
Not sure what the mental connection is, but Patrick's call out to Badlands made me think of another great debut . . . .
Young Heart Attack: Mouthful Of Love
King's X
Masters of Reality
Black Crowes
Jellyfish
Blue Oyster Cult
Audioslave
Cheap Trick
Enuff Z'Nuff
Classics, each and every one

Tyketto - Don't Come Easy
A melodic rock album so good that even snooty music mags liked it.
It's stunning, that's why.
