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.

The Streets - Original Pirate Material
Justin Timberlake - Justified.

delbertgrady

This could change in five minutes, but for now, I'll run with:

Belle and Sebastian - "Tigermilk"
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
Talking Heads - Talking Heads: 77

bullpost

Roxy Music - Roxy Music
REM - Murmur
The Pogues - Red Roses for Me.

Off for a coffee - this list will probably change by the time I'm back.

karaokeman

Would probably agree that three isn't enough but anyway;

1. Jimmy MacCarthy - The Song of The Singing Horseman
2. The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
3. Noel Gallagher - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

A few more notable mentions would be Mindy Smith, Guns 'n' Roses, Coldplay

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

Temaz

Oasis-Definitely Maybe

Stone Roses

The La's

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)

HalloweenJack

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

ricero

forgot to mention also

the streets - original pirate material

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.

mike65

Led Zep - 1
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn
Van Halen - Van Halen

could be three others though

Talking Heads 77
Television - Marquee Moon
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath

thesultan

Pearl Jam Pearl Jam
The Jimi Hendrix Experience ARE you Experienced
Led Zeppelin Led Zeppelin

Eathrin

Foster the people - Torches
Two Door Cinema Club - Tourist History
Professor Green - Alive 'till I'm dead

jakobgallagher

jimi hendrix-are you experienced

the stooges-the stooges

queens of the stone age-queens of the stone age

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.

Parsley

beastie boys - license to ill has to be in there anyway.

8mv

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.

Washington Irving

Not including bands who only had one album (mainly The Sex Pistols and The La's)

The Doors - The Doors
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico

I_p_freely

Pixies - Surfer Rosa
George Harrison - All things must pass (does that even count?!)
Vampire weekend - Vampire weekend

Da Shins Kelly

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill - Lauryn Hill
36 Chambers - Wu-Tang Clan
Illmatic - Nas

There are loads, but those are three I haven't seen mentioned already.

Jimmy Iovine

My bad! Was quite sleepy reading this!

Declan A Walsh

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.

cashback

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.

Bodhidharma

The Clash - The Clash
Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine

Ape X

Jeff Buckley - Grace
The Doors - The Doors
Arcade Fire - Funeral

Latchy

Beatles -Please Please Me. ( The sound and songwriting capabilitys of Lennon&McCartney brought to the british public for the first time on LP )

Dire Straits -Dire Straits (their first album which still rocks )

Ultravox -Vienna ( Major album from the Ure /Cross / Currie /Cann line up which so many hidden gems ...superb album .

Jim_Kiy

Menomena -I am the fun blame monster
Smashing Pumkins -Gish
Interpol-Turn on the Bright Lights

blackwave

Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Guns and Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Special mention goes to Rage Against the Machines debut as well

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.
