Yep this was what I immediately thought of

I don't see Creeds debut album in this list?

Probably because Creed sucks

I know this board doesn't put much stock in country music, but Brooks and Dunn's first, Brand New Man, needs to be on one of these lists.

Good call. That was an incredible album.

Blue Album- Weezer

It's Boston.

Awesome calls.

Talk about announcing your presence with authority.








That's your first three tracks off Rage Against the Machine's self-titled 1992 debut. They did not pull any punches about who they were and what they were about.

I remember 50 Cents debut album being a really big deal

How has Third Eye Blinds debut album not been nominated???!

MGMT: Oracular Spectacular

What about Mase's "Harlem World" that debut album in 1997 sold almost 5 million copies with many guest appearances who would go on to have big careers such as DMX.

A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms
