Greatest debut album

Mostly listening to rock music from the 60s and 70s, thus I am asking a biased question. My greatest debut album is From Genesis to Revelation by Genesis. I understand there were production issues in the making of the album but Gabriel's voice is astonishing on this LP. I wish I could find a live version of Into the Wilderness but can not. Any help in that would be appreciated. Look forward to hearing others opinions for selfish reasons as I want to grow my collection and appreciate the opinions represented here.

"produced, arranged, composed, and performed by Prince" The album was the first to feature a credit indicating that.... Pretty amazing for someone who was I think 19.

I had never heard anything like that before and for a decade after every rock guitarist tried to sound like Eddie, mistakenly thinking that a "gear upgrade" was all they needed ;-).

On Zep 1, I don't find any of the Zep albums to be particularly good recordings. (Yes, I have the grails, plums, RLs, Classic 45s in some cases). The best sounding Zep 1 among US East Coast, US West Coast firsts, early UK Plum (not a turquoise), Classic 33, 45 that I have here is a Japanese 2nd pressing. It has a little more clarity and punch than the others. The other one that sounds better than most is the SHoffman Forum 'fav' Piros remaster, pressed at Monarch in the mid-'70s with certain deadwax that I can't remember off the top of my head.
