    Are you refering to The Bee Gees Sing and Play 14 Barry Gibb Songs?
    I much prefer their second album Spicks and Specks, and I love their third one First, which is one of my absolute favorites by any band

    I'd not heard of Blue Water Highway but given I really enjoy the others in your country-rock list, I thought I'd give them a blast. What a great band! Albums ordered and on the way! :righton:

    In fact yours is a correct answer to the thread title. Although not being their first album, is a '1st' album as required:wave:
     
  14. Steppenwolf - S/T debut
    Rickie Lee Jones - S/T debut
    Dire Straits - S/T debut
    Tracy Chapman - S/T debut
    Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

    I would have listed Paul McCartney - McCartney, but it's actually his second album. The first was The Family Way, which is a soundtrack. Personally I never viewed it at his truly first album.

    Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM) - Storia di un Minuto (1972) / Beautiful and brilliant debut by one of the best Italian prog bands.
    Anglagard - Hybris (1992) / Brilliant debut by Swedish prog band. Full of tension, moments of introspection, beauty, all wrapped up in a fresh take on classic prog. The album most often credited with leading the 2nd golden age of prog starting in the early 90's.
    King Crimson - ItCotCK (1969) / Not much needs to be said about this...
    Magma - Kobaïa (1970) / While not quite pure Zeuhl yet, the debut by Magma is still a monster of a recording. Christian Vander's love of Coltrane is more evident on this than following releases. Not quite jazz, not quite fusion, and not quite prog, just great!
    Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame (1971) / My favorite by them. Absolutely terrifying levels of musicianship, but without sacrificing emotion.

    Others that could make my list:
    Brand X - Unorthodox Behavior
    ELP - S/T
    Iceberg - Tutankhamon
    Happy the Man - S/T
    Gentle Giant - S/T
    Henry Cow - Legend (or is it Leg End?)
    Banco del Mutuo Socorsso - S/T
    Echolyn - S/T

    Ha!

    I didn't know I already replied to this thread back on post #29.

    My list is almost the same, except Magma replaced ELP from my 1st list.

    Just curious: Why does Crenshaw qualify when Smith and Sylvian don't?

    OK, only one of those qualifies as there's only one band! They're still my favourite five debut albums!

    My favourite five debuts by bands would be:

    The Spotnicks - Out-A-Space
    The Rolling Stones (same)
    The Beatles - Please Please Me
    America (same)
    The Ventures - Walk Don't Run

    Leonard Cohen - Songs of Leonard Cohen
    The Sisters of Mercy - First & Last & Always
    Motley Crue - Too Fast For Love
    Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction

    I could go on - for whatever reason, my favourite artists' debut albums are often... usually... my favourite of their records.
