His debut album under his own name:

Ah, I was thinking of artists that were not really known before the debut album. But if we can go that way...

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. ;-)

Good song. Awful video.

My band played that when it first came out. Great song. In my memory banks it shares space with some others I remember intently learning the keyboard parts to:

 

Whisper To A Scream

It's My Life

Tempted

Fashion

Metal

Kids In America

Something Going On

 

It was a great time to be a keyboardist!

Let's not forget my sexy and talented Kate,,,

 

This introduced her amazing voice and talent in such a beautiful and shocking way.

Hear, hear!!!

 

I would have never taken you to be a Kate Bush fan. She's a Goddess.

Nora Jones "Don't Know Why"

I don't know why, but I really dislike that song.

 

In the meantime, I may not be that much of a Van Halen fan, but this was a great way for them to kick it off:

My pick is "Blue" by LeAnn Rimes.

 

I will go further, and say this is the greatest debut song in history, when it comes to an artist who was totally unknown at the time. Elvis had been performing and gaining press before any of his early hits. Same with the Beatles. LeAnn Rimes came out of nowhere, with an amazing song, sung with a vocal maturity not seen before from a 12 year old girl. It's really quite a remarkable recording.

I had to stay after school yesterday and write "I will read and follow directions" 200 times on the blackboard. :laugh:

Really? I worship her!

 

She is not only an amazing musician and singer, but she brought so much theatrics into her performance. Just watch her videos. She is truly a renaissance woman.

I'll suggest Child's Anthem off Toto's debut is worthy of mention.

 

One of my favorites off their debut, along with (OT) Girl Goodbye.

"Precious" by the Pretenders. Few albums match this for all-killer, no filler. Still sounds great today.

"Call me what instrument you will, though you can fret me, yet you cannot play upon me.'-Hamlet

 

Guitar solos last 30 seconds, the bass line lasts for the whole song.

"Ants Marching" was not the opening track from that album. Perhaps you meant "The Best of What's Around," which is still one of my favorite DMB tunes.

OK

 

Doors - Break on Through

 

Mothers of Invention - Hungry Freaks Daddy

 

Zappa got to me first through his lyrics - " Mr. America walk on by, YOUR SCHOOLS THAT DO NOT TEACH"

 

My "education" was officially over from that moment on.....

Definitely agree with the Doors, Break on Through. I remember that coming out as a kid, took the town by storm.

 

Vision of Love by Mariah Carey deserves some mention. That was pretty epic and influential in terms of mainstream pop.

 

 

Some music I've recorded and played over the years with a few different bands
