Greatest debut album


Mostly listening to rock music from the 60s and 70s, thus I am asking a biased question. My greatest debut album is From Genesis to Revelation by Genesis.  I understand there were production issues in the making of the album but Gabriel's voice is astonishing on this LP.   I wish I could find a live version of Into the Wilderness but can not. Any help in that would be appreciated.  Look forward to hearing others opinions for selfish reasons as I want to grow my collection and appreciate the opinions represented here.

Did anybody mention this one yet?

Bat Out Of Hell by Meatloaf.

As far as debut albums go it is a riot from start to finish not to mention a mega hit of millions sold.

Does not hurt any when you have Todd Rundgren and Jim Steinman on board!

I may be out on this now but is it not something like the 3rd best selling " rock" album of all time?

And if anybody wonders if Mr Meat could actually sing as per the album.

I caught him live at London Hammersmith Odeon and what a heck of a show. Yes he can/could sing for approx 2 hours that night.

Very memorable night.
Maybe not your style but a phenomenal first album for me was.

Boston s/t.

Not one of their later releases came close to capturing the glory of this one.

Had this on repeat autopilot forever in the student common room!
