Best Debut Albums
by 
Liedzeit 
The best debut albums I am aware of. No doubt there are a couple of good ones that I just do not know. I am pretty sure Meet the Residents would qualify, for example. I believe most artists have only one good album to offer, and more likely than not it is the first one. I marked all albums with an * that I think is also the best one.
