Best debut album


So my 2 favorite debut album are as follows

1.Steely Dan Can’t by a Thrill
2. 3rd Eye Blind 1997 release

Piper at the Gates of Dawn & The Clash both great shouts.

My favourite album of all time is still Velvet Underground & Nico though, so I’d have to go with that.
Nobody's mentioned Eddie Moneys self titled first album. The one with Two Tickets to Paradise and Baby Hold On. The entire album was worth listening, and we played the heck out of it. Not up there with Bostons debut, but noteworthy
Agree with OP that Can’t Buy a Thrill is a top debut.  One could argue that the Dan’s first two are also contenders for the best opening two.  My favorite is R.E.M.’s Murmur but it is hard to argue with Are You Experienced and Led Zeppelin. And then there’s the game changers...Never Mind the Bollocks and PJ’s Ten.
