Someone at the Power Zone asked about the best "debut albums" and said he had a hard time picking five. That's not my case as here's a list of debut albums I quite enjoyed, in the hard rock/heavy metal field. And I'm sure I forgot some good ones.
What about your faves, from this list, or any other?
