anyone care to post the whole list?

 

its probably on Uncut's website (i think they have one???), should be able to see it there.

  • 8 months later...
  • 4 months later...
Marquee Moon... and to add one: Kate Bush - The Kick Inside.
The most ever debut album imo is 'Jagged Little Pill' Alanis Morrisette.

Out of the list it has to be Velvet Underground & Nico for me.

 

I also own the debuts by Led Zep (II, 4 Symbols, Houses of The Holy & Physical Graffiti were better), Stone Roses (overrated I prefer the Las debut album), Joy Division (Closer is a far better album to my ears) & Jimi Hendrix (I'm not the world's biggest blues/rock fan & the Stuart Maconie quote "The Mariah Carey of the guitar" is true IMHO, I always preferred Peter Green's (Fleetwood Mac) guitar playing).
