I would say that most folks would tend to agree with this list of Top Debut LPs, at least I would LoL! I remember being introduced to VH 1 while in Jr High and I was completely blown away! That first chord of Eruption was like a swift kick in the sack! I was immediately a fan! Then when GnR came out with Appetite I felt that same VH excitement but amplified 100%! One of my best friends in small town Iowa was the first kid in town to own that record and it was before it blew up and our group of friends really were ahead of the curve on that record and were vindicated later when it became huge! I was living in Dallas at the time and we went through line 4 cassettes in a few months as we played it religiously! Same with Faster Pussycat and LA Guns debuts! We loved that sleazy vibe!
These are all awesome! Your list is spot on! Great video! ⚡️🖖👽⚡️
I’m a 1978 kid too! That G&R debut was ridiculous when it came out! Still one of my favorite albums!
Yes!!!
Agree.
Foreigner’s first album. Nearly every song dominated the radio play lists.
Absolutely.
The Crossing, by Big Country. A cover to cover masterpiece - all aces. 💙
I was 18 when GNR hit. I feel sorry for rock fans who dont get to live through a debut like that. GAME CHANGER . To say it was my soundtrack is an understatement. Living in Detroit , the rock scene exploded and
Hahaha I love it! Cheers
I totally agree with Zeppelin & Sabbath. I had not owned that Hendrix album until recently and he has never been on a top list for me, but I have to agree. I’m going in a different direction with the next two, I’m going with REM’s Murmur and the White Stripes S/T. I also have to throw Toadies Rubberneck in the mix. I own Appetite and it’s a great album.
I can see all of those working. All so great.
Great video. I suppose these are my favourites if I had to choose:
Piper at the gates of dawn, Kill em all, Appetite, Core, Sabbath.
Thanks for watching!
I was 17 and working at the record store in the mall when Guns N Roses came out. Game changer for sure at that time!
Aerosmith, The Doors, Pearl Jam, Lenny Kravitz - Let Love Rule, and Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker.

A good list. Mine would be: Boston, Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, The Doors.

My top 5 (although I can list many, many more) in no particular order because they are all great debut albums from different periods:
1. Elvis Presley (Self-titled)
2. The Beatles - "Please, Please Me"
3. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - "Are You Experienced"
4. Chicago Transit Authority
5. Bad Company (Self-titled)
Nice! Haven't seen many people mention Elvis' debut, surprisingly.
Great list, but here's mine, Boston, foreigner, bad company, areosmith,April wine!
Hard to argue with your list GI! Here’s a few more greats that came to mind:
1. Music from Big Pink - The Band
2. Dire Straits (Self Titled)
3. Outlandos d’Amour - The Police
4. High Voltage - AC/DC
5. Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash - The Replacements

1. Velvet Underground & Nico - S/T
2. The Clash - S/T
3. Rage Against The Machine - S/T
4. Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
5. Pearl Jam - Ten
Cool video and concept. Thanks for putting this together!
My pleasure! And great list yourself
@@NTXVinylthanks mate, enjoy your weekend!
Very solid list, but I would need to put Ritchie Valen's debut album in the top 5 over Van Halen. That is one of the most influential albums of all time. Some others I'd consider for top 10:
Joy Division Unknown Pleasures
My Bloody Valentine Isn't Anything
Nine Inch Nails Pretty Hate Machine
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead S/T
The Velvet Underground S/T
Going a little ahead here , I must say that for me , it’s Nevermind the bollocks , here’s the Sex pistols.
The lyrics , the riffs and the sheer attitude does the trick for me.
Great pick! A different punk album made my top 5
@@NTXVinyl: I see what you meant with another punk album. It’s awesome. If I could switch Van Halen to my Sex Pistols , and G n R for your back-up Black Sabbath , my list would be :
Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin
Ramones
Sex pistols
Black Sabbath
We’re not very far apart , really. How about that ?
Solid!!!
I like 2 out of the 5 on your list. Axl Rose's voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, I can't change the radio station fast enough when G & R comes on.
He isn't for everyone. :)
Montrose. Also Texas Flood by SRV
I don't know if I can choose 5 so for me I'll say Zeppelin I (not my favorite from them, I like Physical Graffiti).They changed music with that album, just like Elvis and the Beatles did before them.
I was born in 76' and like you I do remember when G&R came out. EVERYONE in school was talking about Paradise City.
And while I'm not really into grunge anymore, Nevermind was mind blowing when it came out.
Top five is tough as most bands I listen to, their first album is not my favorite!
I’m with you on Graffiti. My fav Zep as well
Don’t forget….Bleach came first (in regards to Nirvana)
@@NTXVinyl Oh gosh you're right!! My grunge roots have certainly been uprooted lol! Haven't listened to some of that stuff in YEARS. It used to rule my life back in the day!
I think you've hit all the nails just as I would have done it.
hell yeah!
Yes, G&R is tops for me. Best debut ever!
Solid top 10 brother. I agree on all of your picks.
Thanks man!
I would have to say, not in any particular order:
Van Halen
Boston
Led Zeppelin
Cars
These all changed the sound of what I was hearing at the time.
SOLID LIST
Tough....
Aerosmith
Kansas
Derek & Diminoes
Foreigner 1
Abbey Road
Aqualung
Led Zep
Ram
Vh 1, Queen1,Heart lil Queen, Boston, Every picture, Sticky Fingers, Bluesbreakers Beano, FMac self titled , ABB Filmore, lots more. Apologies if not 1st record
Rock on!
Solid! But yeah….many of those are not debuts 😎
I agree on Hendrix, VH and G’n’R, but I would replace the others with the first Montrose record and the first Black Sabbath album. I’m not much of a fan of punk and although a great album, Zep 1 was a ripoff of Truth by Jeff Beck and quite a bit of stealing old blues songs and calling them their own.
I've been shocked how many people have mentioned the Montrose album. I need to give that another listen
Van Halen all the way! Changed rock guitar…
Hell yeah it did
Boston...Boston
Lynyrd Skynyrd... Pronounced
Black Crows...Shake Your Money
Maker
Cars....Cars
Steely Dan...Can't Buy a Thrill
All classics!
My top 5
Boston, Boston
The Cars, The Cars
Van Halen, Van Halen
Jimi Hendrix Experience
Led Zeppelin
Give me Queen I. Heaviest Queen ever.
It's been ages since I've heard that one. Great pick!
Boston - Boston
Cheap Trick - Cheap Trick
The Clash - The Clash
Cars - Cars
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
Elvis Costello for sure I was going to write the same thing.
I would add:
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Counting Crows -August and Everything After
The Killers - Hot Fuss
GRACE!
Elvis Presley - S/T
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Doors - S/T
Led Zeppelin - S/T
Black Sabbath - S/T
Ramones - S/T
Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
SOLID
Also worth adding to the list:
- The Doors - The Doors
- Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
- The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium
- The Smiths - The Smiths
- Rage Against the Machine - R.A.T.M.
- Weezer - "Blue" Album
Not the best, but definitely my favourites
Rush - Self Titled
The Strokes - Is This It
Dire Straits - Self Titled
Men At Work - Business As Usual
The Doors - Self Titled
No one has mentioned 'Dreamboat Annie', by Heart. A classic example of a band that never topped their first album, even though they got much more popular for their 80s stadium rock.
G 'n' R are definitely not for everyone. I can't stand them. Best UK punk debut is 'Inflammable Material', by Stiff >ittle Fingers. Another band who never topped their first album. This could make another thread: Bands who never quite managed to reach ghe heights of their first effort. In my opinion, both Dire Straits, and UB40 became increasingly bland after their first outings.
Very well done, really no argument here. In the top 10 conversation I might suggest Tom Petty and ZZ Top over the Cars/Boston.....but again all solid picks. Cheers!
Great suggestions!
That's a good list! My personal top 5, in no particular order:
Boston - Boston
The Cars - The Cars
Van Halen 1
Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
All so great
Great choices my friend! I loved the slight expansion of your list as Boston and The Cars are in my Top Five Debut Albums. One can't go wrong with any of your choices. Solid picks across the board.
Rock on!
Pearl Jam are terrible. Nirvana could easily replace Guns N Roses. The Who My Generation.....#1
Yeah that Pearl Jam band is awful. And Bleach over Appetite? No chance
VH deny, dpes not hold up to time. Gets old.
Could not disagree more ✌🏻
1-“My Aim is True” - Elvis Costello
2-“Please Please Me” - The Beatles
3-“The Kick Inside” - Kate Bush
4-“The Velvet Underground & Nico” - Velvet Underground
5- (tie)“Elvis Presley” - Elvis Presley
5 - (tie) “Music From the Bug Pink” - The Band
The Doors, Pretty Hate Machine, GnR.. takes too long to think of any beyond that..
Thinking can be hard 🤣
@@NTXVinyl Beyond those 3 I was able to think of what I would consider solid debuts like The Killers, but I don’t know if that one would be enough to make a real top 5 list. I feel like The Doors & GnR are for sure, and I noticed I was the only one to mention PHM, and that one was really solid for me….
