Best debut album

[Graham C]

Snow Patrol - Final Straw.

Not their debut album, believe it or not it was their third. They release Songs for Polar Bears in 1998 and When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up in 2001.  Final Straw came out in 2003 - great album though

Pearl Jam TEN.  Still one of my favorite albums 15 years after I first listened to it

Bjorks Debut was great

[NoflopsHomer]

Put this on the other music thread, but Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers debut rocked. 

[I, Zimbra]

Bjorks Debut was great

[kinboshi]

Another great debut album:

Resist - by Kosheen

[Nakor]

Debut albums for some the easiest thing in the world for me;

Led Zep - Led Zep

Stone Roses - Stone Roses

Portishead - Dummy

Babyshambles - Down in Albion

System of the Down - System of the Down

Madness - One Step Beyond

Faithless - Reverence

Honarable mention for Prodigy, Outkast, G & R, Specials, Black Sabbeth

But Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs, Bravery come on pressure on for that difficult second album.

For me, for the tunes, the memories, the time, the greatest debut album has to be Roni Size and Represent - New Forms.
Simply stunning.
