Pearl Jam - Ten
Counting Crows - August and Everything After
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?

Even though they ended up being bloated crap in the long run...
Limp Bizkit - Three Dollar Bills ya'll
I still love that cd.
-
Oh, and of course, the greatest rock band of all time, and their masterpiece first album
Tenacious D - Tenacious D
;D
-
Hell yeah - no one rocks like the D. Too bad their movie was the worst thing ever.
Appetite for Destruction was my first thought but I see it's already listed.

I didn't think it was that bad. Of course, I didn't pay $16 to go see it at the theater with the wife - she put her foot down on that one and I guess I'm glad.

I paid $18 - and waited like a madman for years for the movie. As soon as I recognized that they weren't even using their own songs I was so pissed I almost walked out.

Schwaa?? Did we even see the same movie. What do you mean they didn't use their own songs?? They made an entire new album of songs just for the movie.
-
Yes, and none of them were anywhere near as good as their early stuff. That ending sequence with the Tribute-like song was terrible. The only thing I can think of is that they didn't have the rights to their own stuff so they couldn't use it. I mean WTF - what is the D without Wonderboy?
-
So, you are saying you didn't like the movie because they didn't use their first cd for the soundtrack? I personally liked the new cd (even though it wasn't as good as the first). And yes, the final battle was gay in the movie. The audio only cd version was much better. I was just kind of shocked when I saw the movie that the final battle song was literally the audio track from the movie.
-
Well, I thought the movie completely blew anyway, especially that stupid hallucination sequence. But I would have forgiven it if it used the first album - or if it even felt like the D. It didn't. So I felt like I waited two+ years for less than nothing and regretting paying to see the thing.

Sorry,
Can't help it... :dunno
Siamese Dream is Smashing Pumpkins 2nd release. Gish is their debut. Not as lyrically strong as SIamese Dream, but a much more "rocking" album.
Dookie is Green Day's 2nd Full length. Keprlunk is their first. (1,039 / Smoothed Out Slappy Hours is a compilation of their first two EP's)
Live Through This is Hole's 3rd, not sure of the titles of the predecessors, because I freaking hate Courtney Love, and am trying to forget she was ever considered musically relevant. :angry:

Really? I didn't know that. Heh . . . there are so many bands I left off the list too because their genius didn't show until the second or third album. And hey, how can you not hate Courtney Love? But that album is an all-time-great. She's a freak, and no longer making good music, but she was great, and had a huge influence on Nirvana's sound (probably a helluva lot more than the other way around).
-

Really??? I find this extremely hard to believe. By the time Cobain met Love in 1992, Nirvana had already released most of their songs. I have the Hole album, Live Through This, which is a great album. But as soon as I heard it, I instantly thought the sound was just like Nirvana.
-
The Saints - (I'm) Stranded
The title track is fantastic!
Generation X - Generation X
Germs - GI
Bad Religion - How Could Hell Be Any Worse
Minor Threat - Minor Threat
I could go on and on with this

I'm just gonna just say I completely disagree with you on both points and leave it at that. ;D

having grown up in the NW music scene, billf is more correct than shmokes. Cobain and nirvana had not only released most of their songs, but cobain had probably written of imagined any of the remaining ones. The main thing that Love brought to Cobain was an even MORE self destructive environment to spend his final days.

Agreed. Courtney Love had no influence on Cobain's music other than to make it stop a lot earlier than it should have. A lot of the songs on Nirvana's In Utero album (their last studio one) were actually written before Nevermind (the one with Smells Like Teen Spirit), including Heart-Shaped Box, Pennyroyal Tea, All Apologies, Very Ape, and Radio Friendly Unit Shifter. That means they were written before he met Courtney Love.
Cobain wrote or co-wrote a lot of Hole material, including Old Age, Drown Soda, and a bunch of others, but goes uncredited for just about all of it. He also did backing vocals on the original mix of the Live Through This album, but when he died, she had him lowered in the mix. For a while there was a bootleg copy of one of the songs floating around with his vocals still in it. He is thought to have written either all or most of the music on that album.
As for the best debut albums, I'd have to second Ruby Vroom by Soul Coughing and add in a vote for STP's Core.

so will you hate me when i say that i saw them at the 'pig city' festival here in brisbane this year? ;D they reformed just for that! the last time they performed together they somehow got overlooked. they performed on september 11, 2001. dunno how they could have been overlooked...
-
Hmm . . . it definitely sounds like I'm overruled about Courtney Love's influence on Nirvana. Don't remember how I got that idea, but it appears to be off-base. Now I'm a bit interested to hear Hole's earlier material, though. BTW, Wikipedia puts Hole's total number of albums at 3, which would make Live Through This her second, not her third album. (of course it's Wikipedia, so I reserve the right to be wrong). And regardless of who wrote it, Live Through This is a brilliant album :P
-
Yup. It's their 2nd. Told you I was trying to forget her. Guess I'm doing better than I thought. ;D

Never Mind the Bollocks - Sex Pistols.
Psychocandy - Jesus and Mary chain.
Closing Time - Tom Waits.
The Ramones first LP.
10 great albums and all straight of the starting block...
-
I'll second Kate Bush - The Kick Inside, as well as Rickie Lee Jones self titled.
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
Ace of Base - The Sign
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill. 10 years have passed since it won Grammy for Album of the Year. I picked it up for a listen again not long ago, and from song 1 to song 10, nothing else I've heard still sounds as fresh.
When that album first came out, I must admit I avoided it. I'm not a prude but I didn't like the use of foul language in music, especially when it's repeated just for shock value.
Alanis changed my my mind, however, on the concept of foul language as artistic expression. Go back and listen to "You Ought To Know" and then tell me- out of that much pain, what else would the woman singing the song have said?
-
Gotta agree with pinballjim on NIN...Only one I own and damn fine album.
This is by no means an exhaustive list:
King's X "Out of the Silent Planet"
Dream Theater "When Dream and Day Unite" (though production really sucked on it)
Tesla "Mechanical Resonance"
The Black Crowes "Shake Your Money Maker"
Iron Maiden "Iron Maiden"
Stu Hamm "Radio Free Albemuth"
Stanley Jordan "Magic Touch"
Stanley Clarke "Children of Forever"
Junior Brown "12 Shades of Brown"
