Listening Theme 46 – The Greatest Debut Albums Of All Time
by Paul Adams on Tuesday, November 9, 2010 at 5:12am
Hi all,
Now here’s a theme that could have endless possibilities. Let’s face it, every band/artist has put out a debut album but not all can be called classics. I would like your recommendations for the Greatest Debut Albums Of All Time and as usual I will listen to as many as I can over the next couple of weeks.
Don’t just pick your favourite band – or your own Chris 
I want truly great debut albums. Think I’ll start with some ‘Leh-’Nérd ‘Skin-’Nérd

MEET THE BEATLES
“Appetite for Destruction,” Guns ‘N’ Roses
Good one Vanessa!
August and Everything After – Counting Crows
Heartbreaker – Ryan Adams
I Tell it Like It Used to Be – T. Graham Brown (going country on you)
The Rise and Fall of British Sea Power – British Sea Power
0 – Damien Rice
Revival – Gillian Welch
Jackson C Frank – Jackson Frank
Johnny Cash and his Hot and Blue Guitar – Cash

I feel pretty good about that. I left it light on country though and not very rockin’ except for BSP.
Thanks for your suggestions everyone, I’ll get through as many as I can.

bigDAVE, listening to Pearl Jam’s Ten as I type. Lenny Kravitz – good choice.
Bonnie Raitt– (Great cover of “Since I Fell For You”)
Rickie Lee Jones–Although I’m not a fan of hers anymore, this is a great album. I paid good money to see her play in New Haven, and she was trashed, cursed everyone, and left the stage. About ten years later I thought I’d giver her another chance, and she was horrible on stage.
Big Dave is looking good with that Cracker album cemented by Leroy and hickman ASATR
