Debut albums
by Johnnyo 
This is a chart of the greatest debut albums ever. I started off not including albums that weren't the absolute 1st recording so for example, when I started this Neil Young & Stephen Stills debut solo albums were excluded because they were in Buffalo Springfield previously. I've now changed this as that seems a little restrictive. Hopefully you get the idea.
Oh, and I have to own it
