Greatest debut album

Mostly listening to rock music from the 60s and 70s, thus I am asking a biased question. My greatest debut album is From Genesis to Revelation by Genesis.  I understand there were production issues in the making of the album but Gabriel's voice is astonishing on this LP.   I wish I could find a live version of Into the Wilderness but can not. Any help in that would be appreciated.  Look forward to hearing others opinions for selfish reasons as I want to grow my collection and appreciate the opinions represented here.

Regarding The Beatles: Americans tend to consider Meet The Beatles their debut album, but it actually isn’t. In March of 1963 EMI released their true debut, Please Please Me, in England, but Capitol (EMI’s U. S. equivalent) passed on the album. Vee Jay Records obtained the rights to the album, changed the title to Introducing The Beatles, and released it in January of ’64, the same month Capitol released Meet The Beatles. By then Capitol had seen the light (or smelled the money ;-) .

Meet The Beatles is unquestionably, in historical terms, THE "debut" album of my lifetime (said as a U.S.A. resident). It sounds like what we consider the early Beatles sound: Merseybeat. Please Please Me/Introducing The Beatles doesn’t. It contains covers of a lot of U.S. Girl Group, R & B, and Show Tunes (a favorite of Paul McCartney), and not particularly well done, imo.
