Someone mentioned Kansas DIW as first album they purchased. I hated the 'radio' Kansas but did any of you listen to the first LP with 'Bringing It Back' on it. I gotta go see if I can hear some samples to see if it was as fun a listen as back then.

Debuts that I thought wre great - Dire Straits (duh) and Rickie Lee Jones IMHO neither artist ever topped their first. SRV Texas Flood same as the other two my favorite. Same for Robert Cray can't recall if the title was 'Too Many Cooks' or ??? but he was hungry had fire it wasn't all slick-syrupy love tunes that followed.

I am sure theres more like Allman Brothers Band but since they had already recorded as Allman Joys and Hourglass I don't count that as true 'debut'

Mannish, I agree with you on two of those you mentioned (haven't really listened to the Kansas LP)...Rickie Lee & SRV, especially Rickie Lee....that was an awesome debut.

nevermind on Kansas I listened to some samples and it's not as fun as I remember.

Nit: DIW was a single, from the album Leftoverture.

I liked the first two Kansas albums better than anything that followed. They were more raw and more real than the polished and overproduced albums from Leftoverture on.

used to rock to Masque.
Saw the Leftoverture tour in War Memorial in Nashville (2500 seats) - very good show.
Didn't care for their pop album after that.

Jethro Tull "This Was" with Mick Abrahms on guitar was their first and best album IMHASWO. Funny thing is a lot of Tull fans have never heard the album because it wasn't a big hit and it wasn't a typical Tull album. Abrahms was a big part of the jazzy bluesy sound on "This Was" and after he left the band they weren't the same. I never really cared for Tull after Abrahms left but "This Was" is still one of my favorite albums.
