Best debut album

Did I ever mention that I didn't like CSN's debut album because I thought it felt fussed over and a little tame?  Then I saw them in concert at either the Greek or the Hollywood Bowl.  They were wonderful.  Loose and virtuosic. They got still better when Neil Young came on stage as "special guest."  In any case, I continued to try and like the album but I never could quite accept it.  Wound up selling it.

As much as I loved the Sex Pistols, they were too much of a one trick pony.  I still regret, though, that I missed them when they played the Roxy (or was it the Whisky?).  I went to buy a ticket.  They had already sold out....not the Pistols themselves, though!

I just gotta echo the selections mentioned by all you guys.  That Nancy Wilson with Cannonball Adderly!  Zeppelin!  Doors!  Are You Experienced!  I'll add Pearl Jam's debut.

petg60 -- Pink Floyd's first album was Piper at the Gates of Dawn.  I actually went looking for it in my vinyl collection.  Damn, I must have sold it eons ago.  I bought it for Interstellar Overdrive.

voiceofvinyl -- I saw the New York Dolls live at, I believe, the Santa Monica Civic.  One of the worst live acts I've ever seen.  All posing.  No chops.  A modicum of talent.  I had good seats, too.  I did like the debut album, though...  It must have had a heck of a good producer.

Yeah, I know I'll be instantly cast into the purgatory of tin-eared dimwits, but I'll say it here & now that I never liked the Band.  Unable to unbutton themselves. Dripping with ersatz sincerity.  Whiny.  Forced.
