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.

@tostadosunidos, yup Jack was the most interesting thing about The Airplane, just as John Entwistle was in The Who. But then, I love the bass. James Jamerson is about my favorite musician; he, Ry Cooder, and Levon Helm. What a trio that would have been!

Re: Jagged Little Pill, that was Alannis’ American debut album. She had at least one earlier pop album released in Canada, IIRC.

Bellybutton by Jellyfish is a mighty amazing debut. They were incredible live too.
