Perfect Debute Albums


Which DEBUTE albums do you consider perfect?

*DISCLAIMER*

This thread was MacDadTexas's idea and a good one at that!

Mine would be-

The Cars- The Cars
Norah Jones- Come Away With Me
Cheap Trick- Cheap Trick

I'll post more later....

Timrhu, even if we dismiss real Bjork's first album, her first serious recording is "Gling Glo" her one and only ever Jazz outing, which precedes "Debut". If you have not heard it I recommend you try to get your hands on a copy. Great stuff.
Two absolute killer debut albums:

New Radicals - Maybe you've been brainwashed too
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS BAND????

Freak Power - Drive Tru Booty
I never realized Ten was Pearl Jam's debut. Knowing this, I would rank it in the the top three of all time best debuts.

Now I realize this is probably going to get me boo'ed of the stage but I would nominate Eminem's "Slim Shady LP" as one of the most original and authentic debut albums of the last decade.
If we take some liberties and throw in "first solo albums" we have to mention Lauryl Hill's - The Miseducation of Lauryl Hill. I could not get enough of that album, and it picked up 5 grammys I believe.
If first solo albums are allowed then we absolutely need to include Lauryl Hill "The miseducation of Lauryl Hill". Picked up 5 grammy awards and deservedly so.
