Best debut album

Richard Barone - "Cool Blue Halo"

It came out about a year before MTV Unplugged started, and it pretty much started the chamber pop movement.

Do you mean "best" compared to their work that followed?  I'll throw out Edgar Winter's "Entrance" and Led Zeppelin.   Most other acts started pretty rough compared to when they were seasoned later.....I'm thinking Beatles and Billy Joel....both of whom I worship!

bekeske.....Tiny Tim is really a good album, with a Bowie tune on it....hooda thunk?

I kinda mentioned Tiny Tim ‘tongue and cheek’, but when you think back to when it was released, it made quite the impression....nobody knew quite what to think, and he became an over night oddball success. Everyone took notice, young and old.

Boston "Boston", Stevie Ray Vaughan "Texas Flood"   Aha "Hunting High and Low." The Smiths "The Smiths"
