Favourite debut record of all time?

[timmyc]

I always liked this topic and not sure if it's ever been on here (?). The other day my mate and I were reeling off our 5 fave records of all time, and I have 1 debut record in my top 5, kind of defaulting it as my fave ever debut. This record to me is just flawless. Dark, heavy, beautiful, poetic, superb lyrics, and just plain rocking. The perfect debut record imho.

Great topic and choice of album too Timmy.

Hard to split between these two (and yes I know FNM released an EP before that album!)

When I saw the topic I immediately thought of Ten. So be it.

This too is a great debut in my opinion. Almost my number one choice. However, I'd have to bestow those honors to the mighty Van Halen and their 1977 or 1978 Van Halen I. I can't remember which year it came out. Eddie Van Halen redefined how the electric guitar was meant to be played paving the way for shredders in the 80's. He influenced everybody and those who say otherwise are in denial.

Led Zeppelin.

I just checked that band out, they are pretty much the gayest sounding metal band I have ever heard. I don't know what style of music that is other than it sounds like everything i can't stand with todays musical trends. Sing, Scream, Sing, Scream, melody, double bass, break down, yell, sing, ....... vomit

Here is the video I saw, is this the same band?

Best hard rock album of all time for me. Big call I know but every damn song is an instant winner.

I like Cold. Their debut is great. Haven't really listened to any of their releases after the second album, though.

One of my favourite debut albums is Earth vs. The Wildhearts.

Since when is this a debut record?

Major Label Debut is what that is. Pantera certainly does their best to ignore their first 4 albums. That is one of the biggest debates about Pantera from the critics. They completely changed their sound and look when they put out Cowboys From Hell. I always thought those guys were talented but didn't have an identity until Phil Anselmo came in and took control. Dimebag is certainly one of the best guitar players to ever live, but if it wasn't for Phil Anselmo I don't think he would have ever been discovered in the capacity he was.

That Damageplan album was absolutely horrible

Phil made Pantera heavy and wouldn't allow anything less than heavy. Even that Power Metal album he sang on was much heavier than the previous Pantera albums. I actually like that Power Metal album.

None the less I love Pantera, especially Far Beyond Driven, The Great Southern Trendkill, and Reinventing The Steel. But I can't give them much in the credibility department as I know they were originally a lost glam rock band until Phil Came in.

I agree, I just couldn't help not being a smartass!
