Perfect Debute Albums

Yet another Mumford supporter. Best debut that I can recall in well over a decade.
I'll also add The Feelies eponymous first record to the list.

Laura Marling - Alas I cannot swim. Unbelievable debut album for someone so young.

Pat Metheny "Bright Size Life" w/ Jaco Pastorius & Bob Moses! What a lineup! I second Lrsky on the Nancy Wilson! Also, one that many are unaware of, is Mozart debut album "twinkle little star", very few sold, as the advent of the victrola was not yet. He was ahead of his time!

Coldplay- Parachutes. Of course all their albums are pretty much perfect IMO.

Depending on what you consider their first album, my vote is is for

The The - Soul Mining.

Runners -up:

Laurie Anderson - Big Science
Emerson Lake and Palmer - self titled
