Best debut album

@canerod 

@bkeske FWIW "The Band" was their second album.

Of course you are correct, but being Music from The Big Pink does not change my vote ;-)

Nina Simone;  Little Girl Blue
Roberta Flack:  First Take

enjoy

I'd still have Never Mind the Bollocks as the best debut but I wish I'd mentioned both Unknown Pleasures and The Velvet Underground.

One influenced Bowie and the other was influenced by him.

Neither can be very far behind. 

It was mentioned earlier, but I have to say The Pretenders. It wasn't my favorite at the time, but as I "matured", I realized how awesome it is! 

bobdg2000,

I feel that Chrissie Hynde is a vastly underrated vocalist.

Difficult to think of any other current female singer that sounds more human than her.

I’d love to hear her cover some of the standards.

Did you know she once did a duet with Sinatra?
