    The strokes - Is this it , one of the best albums ever, every song top notch , itll be looked back on in 50 years time.
    Arctic Monkeys - whatever people say I am thats what Im not- I remember the first time I heard I bet you look good on the dancefloor , it was a million times different to anything getting played on the radio at the time.
    The Streets- original pirate material - smashing album combined rap and dance music without pretending to be a hustling smack slanging black man . Poetry and music combined like bob dylan would have wanted.

    Bob dylans original gets an honourable mention but it had alot of covers in it so Ill go with the above.

    Lloyd Cole and the Commotions - Rattlesnakes
    Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
    Joe Jackson - Look Sharp!

    You can tell my age group from that! Would probably change if I had time to think about it.

    Now that I think of it, does John Lennon/Plastic Ono Bandqualify as a debut? If so, then one of the above has to make way.

    This is the first time in ages that I have posted on this particular forum!

    This is a nigh impossible task - limited to three.

    There is one album I would always include in the list of the three best debut albums, no matter what combination I do (because it is probably my favourite album as well!) and that is:
    Walk Across the Rooftops by The Blue Nile
    and then....
    Electronic by Electonic
    Boy by U2

    Ask me on another day, and depending on my mood, my second two could be any of the following:
    Parachutes by Coldplay
    Ten by Pearl Jam
    Diamond Life by Sade
    Twist by The Fat Lady Sings
    A Sonic Holiday by Engine Alley
    Reading, Writing and Arithmetic by The Sundays
    Suzanne Vega

    If the list was expanded to say a Top 20, then I would give honourable mentions to Murmur by R.E.M., Revolution by Tracy Chapman, So Much for the City by The Thrills and Moon Safari by Air.

    REM - Murmur Influential, to say the least.
    Interpol - Turn On The Bright Lights Defined their style and sound rightaway.
    Janelle Monae - The Archandroid Ambitious but amazing.

    I hate to be a bummer but that is Pearl Jam's 8th album and Zeppelin's 4th.

    I thoroughly recommend Pearl Jam's debut album 'Ten' though. One of thee best debuts ever.

    Led Zeppelin's first album was eponymously titled as well. Most people call the fourth album Led Zeppelin IV to avoid confusion even though there is no roman numeral on it like the previous two albums.
