Perfect Debute Albums

Tatw,

Props on New Radicals, you beat me to it. I'll add Joe Jackson Look Sharp and Marshal Crenshaw (eponymous).

Marty

Pearl Jam - Ten
Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker
Keith Richards & The Expensive Winos - Talk Is Cheap ( i know this one is streching it but is a great first record from this band)
The Faces - First Step

I forgot about Pearl Jam's Ten, STP's Core, and Nirvana's Nevermind. Add to my list that hasn't been mentioned yet...

Rage Against The Machine - self titled.

Too bad those guys didn't put out another album or two. No idea why they split.

While I agree that Nirvana's Nevermind is a perfect album, Bleach was their debut and it might count as a perfect debut as well.

I never realized Ten was Pearl Jam's debut. Knowing this, I would rank it in the the top three of all time best debuts.

Now I realize this is probably going to get me boo'ed of the stage but I would nominate Eminem's "Slim Shady LP" as one of the most original and authentic debut albums of the last decade.
