The Doors - The Doors
The Cars - The Cars
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced

I just got Carly Simon's Anticipation from MoFi. The SACD layer pretty good, but I would still like the sound of my old LP better if it weren't for the surface noise. I didn't treat it well when I was in college.

A big second to has2be's The Who's My Generation nomination. Another hugely influential (amongst musicians) debut album was The Yardbirds For Your Love. Guitar playing by both Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers s/t debut. Elvis Costello's my Aim Is True. The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band's Gorilla. Jellyfish's Bellybutton (incredible!). Emitt Rhodes s/t. Byrds Mr. Tambourine Man.
