It should've wiped out sectarian violence in five minutes, but because of idiots it didn't. Shame really.indeed, it's an absolute classic in my books. It was on the first ever mix tape I ever made and it is still one of my fave songs of all time

Indeed, as a species music (and doing the right thing) vs treatment of people (and being human I guess and destroying ourselves) we're a utter failure.yeah Invisible Sun didn't work either in that cause
I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey last night and I'm going to the library for the Arthur C. Clarke novels next week as I'm told it's a must read.
I'm of the impression everyone on the planet should be made to watch this.
I dunno how much difference it would make but I'd hope it'd make people less hate filled.
Off topic sorry lol.

I saw Van Halen at the Texxas Jam. They only had one CD out. We went to see Nugent, Aerosmith, and several other bands, but we left talking about Van Halen. Indeed, we had not heard of them, nor had the people sitting close to us. "Who are they?" Then it was, "God, what a band. How the hell have I missed them? I'm getting their album asap." Roth may be an idiot, but his performance in front of 80,000 rockers that day was as good as any I've ever seen, and I've seen a ton.
All excellent choices,though the topic was one debut album.
Agree with both of you.lol... a shared appreciation... with props to Randy Newman...
I think of their first UK album as their debut,though the US version is interesting.Those plus...
The Clash - The Clash (does the US version count as a debut?)
It is difficult for any decent person to sit back and not comment on the anti-Semitism,racism ,sexism ,and all-around ignorance espoused on the majority of DA's posts,it's fucking sad when one gets a warning for simply being a decent person.

I agree^^ but like KZ stated it is difficult to choose just one.
I would change my mind every day if forced to pick just one. It does seem that the ones posted, even the oldests ones, popular today.I agree^^ but like KZ stated it is difficult to choose just one.
Nice calls. My Generation showed The Who had attitude from the beginning, and it was a welcome change from what had become boring.Truth Teller:
The Who - My Generation
Steppenwolf - Steppenwolf
The Pusher is a haunting, taboo-breaking (actually, exploding), song off of Steppenwolf's first and many people have never heard it.
conflicted as I might be over the issue, I'd prolly stick with Led Zeppelin for the top position...
the trouble for me would come in if I was asked to pick the second-best debut album...
I wouldn't know whether to shit or go blind choosing from among a coupla dozen excellent picks...
The Who definitely stood out from the rest of the British Invasion...
nobody else had that sound back in the mid-60's...
they essentially invented "Power Rock"...
most folks have heard the single "My Generation"...
here's another cut from the album...
anybody who's watched the intro to the movie Easy Rider has heard the first coupla minutes of the tune...
comes up at 4:42...
btw... here's a coupla trivia questions...
"The Pusher" was actually written by a well-known country music artist... can you name him...?
The drug buyer in the limo at the beginning of "Easy Rider" was played by a well-known record producer... can you name him...?
btw... I figgur KZ can easily answer these questions... I jes' put 'em up fer fun...

For me its Young Team by Mogwai.
Its so good that all CDs that followed from that band were dissapointing.
Was that REALLY his debut album?
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.

The Clash - The Clash (does the US version count as a debut?
Korn - Korn
Tool - Undertow

Reminds me of Boston (the band). Boston exploded onto the scene. Their second was almost as good as their debut, and then they never recaptured what they’d done on the first two. I was in college and it seemed like everywhere we went someone had them on—which was mighty fine with me and my date.
Foreigner was also terrific with their debut. I have Can't Slow Down (2010). I wish I had my money back and Amazon had that CD.
Abba also debuted with style.
The Cars debut was different yet still very good.
Okay, bye...
I couldn't answer your questions without researching Wiki and Google. That is a very good trivia question.mmI just looked Axton up and learned he wrote songs I would have never guessed:btw... here's a coupla trivia questions...
"The Pusher" was actually written by a well-known country music artist... can you name him...?
The drug buyer in the limo at the beginning of "Easy Rider" was played by a well-known record producer... can you name him...?

I learned something today. Mainly, how ignorant I am.Among his best-known compositions (or co-writing credits) are:
"I'm a Good Ole Rebel"
"Greenback Dollar" covered by The Kingston Trio
"The Pusher", covered by Steppenwolf on their debut album in 1968
"No-No Song", which became a #3 hit for Ringo Starr in March 1975
"Never Been To Spain", covered by Three Dog Night, Waylon Jennings, and Elvis Presley
"Joy to the World", the Three Dog Night hit from April 1971 which held US #1 for six weeks
"Snowblind Friend" (1971), covered by Steppenwolf
"Lightning Bar Blues" (1973), covered by Brownsville Station and Arlo Guthrie (also a big hit for the Finnish band Hanoi Rocks in the '80s)
"Sweet Misery" (1974), covered by John Denver
"The Morning Is Here" (1974)
"Boney Fingers" (1974)
"Della and the Dealer" (1979) (Reached the top 20 of the Billboard Country charts in the USA and the top 50 of the British pop charts)
"Hotel Ritz" (1979)
"Rusty Ol' Halo" (1979)
"Hangnail In My Life" Snowblind Album (1977)
shoot... don't sell yerself short, KZ...
who'da ever thunk "The Pusher", "Joy To The World", and "Bony Fingers" were all written by the same guy...
The terms "eclectic" and "one of a kind" could well be used to describe Hoyt Axton...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoyt_Axton
'nother bit of trivia...
Hoyt's mom co-wrote "Heartbreak Hotel"...
Kasey Chambers -The Captain
Evanescence - Fallen
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
Van Halen's debut remains my favorite (1978). Folks that like rock may not know the songs below by name by all but the last 2 got heavy playing time.
"Runnin' with the Devil"
"Eruption" (Instrumental)
"You Really Got Me"
"Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love"
"I'm the One"
"Jamie's Cryin'"
"Atomic Punk"
"Feel Your Love Tonight"
"Little Dreamer"
"Ice Cream Man"
"On Fire"
Hagar needs to figure out that it is over for him and his whining and moaning isn't gonna change that. He "had a great run." The hard truth is, is "run" with Van Halen is over. Time for him to try to act like he's at least 12-years old instead of 5-years old and stop whining. It's over, Sammy. Get used to it.
Boston's debut (1976).
Led Zeppelin's (1969).
Guns N Roses' Appetite for Destruction
The Cars debut (1978); they caught my attention because they were different.
Audioslave's debut; what a shame they did not stay together.
Alter Bridge's debut, One Day Remains (2004). To see them is to like them, or, it was for me.
Koritni's debut, titled Lady Luck (2007). Aussie's that (at least some) hail from the now not a band Green Dollar Colour.
Click that song and list to what rockers expect from HARD ROCK. [I][B][COLOR="red"]
Go ahead..."Make my [your] day."
YES. THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL HARD ROCK.
THE EUROPEANS ARE SHAMING AMERICAN BANDS WHEN IT COMES TO NEW BANDS THAT PLAY HARD, HARD ROCK.
(1) Koritni I list above.
(2) The Answer hails from Northern Ireland. They have 2 CDs out and their debut was a dandy.
(3) Airbourne hails from Warrnambool (Aussies). They have 2 CDs out. Their debut won "BEST DEBUT" at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards in 2008.
(4) 77 (strange name) from Barcelona has 2 CDs out. Their debut is a dandy. So is their second.
(5) I REALLY COULD go on, but by now, all of you are so bored with this post it wouldn't matter. Indeed, I'm bored with this post. Sadly for DAers, I will not be bored long.
