Best debut album

Van Halen’s 1978 debut. I was 10 years old. This album still holds up 40+ years later. How about Nirvana’s Bleach? Pearl Jam. Stone Roses. 

@johnto Good call on CSN - that also reads like a greatest hits disc
@jrod68. So true with PJ - "Ten" I consider the most influential album of the 90's

Pat Metheny's "Bright Size Life."

(Jaco Pastorius kills on this record too!)

mhe, That is a very excellent example!! 

Did I ever mention that I didn't like CSN's debut album because I thought it felt fussed over and a little tame?  Then I saw them in concert at either the Greek or the Hollywood Bowl.  They were wonderful.  Loose and virtuosic. They got still better when Neil Young came on stage as "special guest."  In any case, I continued to try and like the album but I never could quite accept it.  Wound up selling it.
