    Not everybody's cup of tea, nor 'classic' albums to most but if you know these albums and are open to the styles of music in them they are very strong debuts.

    Dizee Rascal - boy in the corner
    The Streets - Original Pirate Material
    Justin Timberlake - Justified.

    Darn they were my three!

    I guess I will have to pick another 3 instead:

    1) Stone Roses
    2) Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
    3) Television - Marquee Moon

    Honourable mentions to Nas - Illmatic and The Smiths


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭✭Temaz


    Oasis-Definitely Maybe

    Stone Roses

    The La's


  • Registered Users Posts: 307 ✭✭kellso81


    The strokes - Is this it?. In my view one of the most important albums of our generation. Put a thankful end to Nu-metal and changed the face of music!
    Bon Iver - For Emma
    Van Morrison - Astral Weeks (maybe cheating but first proper solo album)


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,247 ✭✭✭HalloweenJack


    Arcade Fire - Funeral
    Funkadelic - Funkadelic
    Wu Tang Clan - Enter the 36 Chambers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    forgot to mention also

    the streets - original pirate material


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,113 ✭✭✭SilverScreen


    In no particular order.

    Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
    Even though I prefer Closer this is still one of the best debuts I've ever heard. This album changed the game.

    Saint Etienne - Foxbase Alpha
    In an ideal world this is what pop music should be like. Sarah Cracknell's gorgeous vocals hooks and the swinging 60's meets 90's electronica production feel never fails to captivate me.

    The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy
    It took me a while to really understand it but now it sounds truly amazing. I can't imagine the harsh production being any other way, it sounds really awesome. It's an album that manages to be both ugly and beautiful, not to mention being one of the most influential albums ever recorded.

    Van Halen - Van Halen

    Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
