Jimi Hendrix, "Are you experienced" King Crimson, "In the court of the crimson king" Led Zeppelin (eponymous) Van Halen I Mr.Bungle (eponymous)[not for the faint of heart,but brilliant debut] Robert Plant Allison Krause "Raising Sand" Not sure if debut as solo artist counts but; Alice Cooper "Welcome to my nightmare" Elvis Costello "Spike"
Jaybo's pics plus "Television", "The Remains" and Neil Young's ST'd first solo effort, which all pale in comparison to George Gobel's Las Vegas Sands LP.

Man, what a tasty list of music so far, I have a few to add :
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Texas Flood
Springsteen - Greeting from Asbury Park NJ
U2 - Boy
Aerosmith - Aerosmith
All of these bands went on to put out some great music but I always go back to the early stuff to get their raw, honest sound. Aerosmith - what happened to them? Good lord ... I wouldn’t be surprised if the next release is elevator music. I believe Zep was probably the best example … Nothing ever sounded like Zeppelin I to me. Sure, there were glimmers but I can play some of the blues tracks like “I can’t quit you baby” or “Babe I’m gonna leave you” and hear real blues power with a hard rock edge. Man, it was brilliant work. I live for the day the Zeppelin box set comes out. I hope the people from Mobile Fidelity are reading this …
Many good choices above! How can we forget Pretenders, Pretenders?? That is one well recorded album--I recently picked up a mint first pressing and it sounds amazing.
