I want you to wright your opinion about your favorite/best 1st song(the one that opened the first vinyl side) of the debut album of any band/artist.

 

My beloved is "Break on through" of Doors.

 

(The song socked me back in 1985 when i listened for the first time "I wanna be somebody" from the debut album of W.A.S.P...) :rawk:

As soon as I saw the thread title, this is exactly where my thoughts went, and immediatly had that song, beautiful song, running through my mind, you beat me to it! I wore out my copy of that album back in the day, and still put the cd on when I need a lift.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have not yet offended. Please be patient and I will get to you shortly.

"More Than a Feeling" was a great way to kick off Boston's debut album.

I remember the first time I heard that song, I stopped in my tracks and thought "this is a game changer" I still love that song even after hearing it 10^32 times at least.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

{21st Century Schizoid Man}

Funny, that was the only song on the album that I didn't like! I used to start the album with the 2nd song. Good riffs, but ugly fuzz vocal verses and the kooky improv in the middle... not for me. I know, not a popular opinion ;-)

Maybe this is the best place for a shameless plug! Our now not-so-new new video at https://youtu.be/3ZRC3b4p4EI is a 40 minute adaptation of T. S. Eliot's "Prufrock" - check it out! And hopefully I'll have something new here this year. ;-)

I think "Just What I Needed" was their first hit, but The Cars debut album was loaded with other favorites for me:

Always liked the synth into with this one:

Does it have to be vinyl? I remember this one immediately signaling to me that something special was happening here. Couldn't wait to hear the next song(s).

 

I wish she hadn't smoked her way into oblivion.

This album had everything, great songs, an unique style and sound made by an even better trio.

 

At home we were into rock, blues and soul, but we immidiatly agreed this was special.

We bought the next albums too and the Police was among the favourite records on our turntable.

 

Oeps allready mentioned.....sorry !!

Yet another thread where not everyone actually read the thread and answer the question that was actually posted. LOL :facepalm:

 

That being said, limiting it to the debut album is too restrictive, IMO. However, it is what it is, so I'll suggest Child's Anthem off Toto's debut is worthy of mention.

Yeah, I followed the rules and stuck with debut albums. Best first tracks on *any* albums opens up a huge number of additional possibilities...! I think the "debut album" qualifier was an interesting twist on this kind of thing, since so many favorites hit their stride later.

So many great songs from debut albums that spring to mind are the LAST track. I wonder why such strong material is saved for last; you'd think the artists would want to grab your attention with the goodies first.

Which also raises into question the idea of a "debut album." First major label LP? First independent LP? EP? The three local records the band put out before their big break?

 

Endlessly debatable...
