Correction-Ray Gillen was the lead vocalist for Badlands NOT Ian Gillan as my earlier post states. Don't want to mislead anyone.

Most of my choices have already been mentioned so here's some that haven't:

Flying Burrito Bros - Gilded Palace Of Sin
Tony Williams Lifetime - Emergency!
Blue Nile - A Walk Across the Rooftops
Flora Purim - Butterfly Dreams
Big Audio Dynamite - This Is
Mick Taylor - Mick Taylor
Electric Flag - Electric Flag
Allman Brothers Band - Allman Brothers
The Band - The Band
Dream Academy - Dream Academy
Swing Out Sister - It's Better To Travel
Michael Jackson - Off the Wall (his first real solo album)
Lush - Gala
Miroslav Vitous - Moutain In the Clouds
Robert Palmer - Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley
Traffic - Mr. Fantasy
Bob Marley & the Wailers - Catch A Fire (their Island records debut)
Sheryl Crow - Tuesday Night Music Club

A really nice thread. So much better than the recent spate of negative music ones.

So far as I know, "Music From Big Pink" was The Band's debut. However, their self-titled album ("the brown album") is a great examle of a sophomore release that, to my mind, was even stronger than their debut.
