Very rock heavy. So here's an alternate. Wildly considered one of the greatest rap albums of all time. Not bad for a debut.

Highest selling debut album in history for a long time. And then it was highest debut by a band. Not sure where it ranks now but the influence on other bands is significant.

It may not be the favorite, but it has been considered the best at times.

My brother bought Boston based on the album cover. First LP he ever bought.

When VH came out, he bought it based on the cover. He said "these guys look awesome. I'm getting this one"!

Album covers matter, kids!

We played the grooves off of those albums.

I was gonna say Boston's debut, too.

Stylistically, it was very different from other stuff out at the time and it had a huge impact.

What counts as a debut album? Does The Chronic count? Or is Dre ruled out because of his NWA work?

A coupla faves that blew me away, at a young, impressionable age:

Chicago Transit Authority - Chicago
Child Is Father To The Man - Blood Sweat & Tears

Many moons later, these are still pretty remarkable, in my opinion.

Was going to say Amy Winehouse Back to Black but looks like she had an album before that one. I think that would be a good one if it was her debut

Well again yes, we (I) had a texags poll on this.

The final four was

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Boston - Boston
Pearl Jam - Ten

The winner was GNR in a close race
