Perfect Debute Albums

I forgot "Montrose"

Fun thread.
Adding to the list I'd suggest:
Eric Johnson "Ah Via Musicom"
Simply Red "Picturebook"
Julian Lennon "Valotte"
Rolling Stones

I think another worthwhile thread would be, "Best Sophomore Release After a Smash Debut". Seems to me delivering something equal to or better than the initial release - especially after early success - is a real challenge.

Great point because its easy to create that initial effort but many times the various bands can't duplicate that again....guess its much easier to create great work over years but not so easy to do it again in shorter time frame plus with pressure to duplicate its even harder.

Jamie Cullum -Twentysomething.

Burial, Untrue. The best late night soundscape EVER made.
