Inspired by IBS thread on album covers.

Hard to see past The Stone Roses Debut for me 1989 and really ahead of its time

Tubular Bells ?

There are no right or wrong answers to this.

You love what you love.

All from the same era, was going to go for From A to B (New Musik), deferred to At The Chelsea Nightclub (The Members) but finally settled on The Age Of Plastic (The Buggles).

As you say no right or wrong answers. But my top 5 would be

Stone roses - Stone Roses
Cocteau Twins - Garlands
New Order - Movement
Swervedriver - Raise
Catherine Wheel - Ferment

[Scum-Triumphant]

Excellent choices.

Rage against the machine - RAGTM

Suede- suede, discovered this years later an amazing album

Stone roses - stone roses

The music - the music

Nirvana - bleach $600 to make on an 8 track, amazing and raw

The vines - highly evolved.

Candy skins - fun? Indie pop at its finest.

Kasabian - kasabian


These albums not debut but still amazing

Radiohead - the bends
Cypress hill - black Sunday
Prodigy - music for the jilted generation


I?m sure could think of loads more, always just depends on what mood I?m in, could never pick just one.


Swevedriver great call, love that album.

NWA - Straight Outta Compton

Kamasi Washington - The Epic (technically not a debut, but first release on a legit label)
Arcade Fire - Funeral
The Smiths - The Smiths
Pixies - Come On Pilgrim
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
Wu-Tang Clan - 36 Chambers
R.E.M. - Murmur
Stone Roses - Stone Roses
Nas - Illmatic
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Guns n' Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Gang of Four - Entertainment
De La Soul - 3 Feet High

Objectively, Lauryn Hill's solo debut and Pearl Jam's Ten are great, but I don't think they hit like any of the above.

1989 was obviously a pretty stunning year for debuts - De La Soul, Stone Roses, NWA, Nirvana, wow!

Very good, Lol! Not a lot of people know that!

For me the English version since that?s what I bought at the time. I actually bought it as a present for my best mate for his birthday in 1968 but he wasn?t that bothered with it and ended up giving it back to me. Still have it and still play it. (Favourite track: ?Salad Days? but I like them all. Keith Reid wrote everything.)
