Just saw that it was 50 years ago that Jimi Hendrix Are You Experienced was released. Being 61 remember it's release well. One of the great debut albums. Would like to hear what are your favorite first albums from a group or solo artist. A few of mine are;
The Doors - The Doors
The Cars - The Cars
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced

Herbie Hancock, "Takin' Off"
Saved a lot of Hancock recordings to favorites in Tidal & Spotify.  His discography is massive.  Have only listened to a small portion of it. Spending time with Takin' Off this evening.  Very impressed with it's melodicism, balance, economy and overall elegance.  Had to find this thread to post about it.  As per Wikipedia citing "The Rough Guide to Jazz", "...one of the most accomplished and stunning debuts in the annals of jazz."  Of course, he was no rookie in the studio when he made this recording.  Great sidemen too.  The compositions and soloing are first rate.  The 2007 Van Gelder remaster sounds great.
