What is your favourite debut album by a band or solo artist?

Question

Is must be their first studio album.

Mine: The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses (1989)

Yours?

Answer 1

Word gets around - Stereophonics. It is amazing, especially as I grew up in Wales and was old enough to get the album as it was originally released. Every track reminds me of every street I walked down. I just think it is a brilliant achievement to come up with 13 diverse songs with such mature lyrics and I dont think they've ever released anything half as good since.



Employment - Kaiser Chiefs, just very fun.



Up The Bracket by The Libertines, very good insight into how we as the lethargic, wasted youth were all feeling and acting ca 2002 lol.



I love the stone roses and she bangs the drums is in my top 5 favourite songs ever, but I was too young when that album came out originally, so I dont feel I discovered it, if you get me.

10. David Gilmour - David Gilmour (1978)

9. Firefall - Firefall (1976)

7. Foreigner - Foreigner (1976)

6. The Cars - The Cars (1976)

5. The Bears - The Bears (1987)

4. The Brandos - Honor Among Thieves (1987)

3. The Black Crowes - Southern Harmony And Musical Companion (1990)

2. Phil Collins - Face Value (1981)

1. David Baerwald - Bedtime Stories (1990)

Answer 3

Ah! Stone Roses is ABSOLUTELY BRILL!



However, I've gotta go with Oasis' 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe! It's fantastic! Every song just pulls you in with the catchy riffs, memorable lyrics (and the interesting way Liam delivers them!) and the great instrumentation... Very Beatles-esque, raw, fun, honest and original all at the same time.



But, if you dig the Roses, you're most likely an Oasis fan. Am I right? ;)





Cheers!
