100 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time

THE 100 MOTHERFUCKIN' BEST ALBUMS EVER!!!, DEBUT ALBUMS RATHER, AND THEY MAY NOT ACTUALLY BE THE BEST! LET'S AT LEAST CALL THIS A LIST OF STUFF TO LOOK AT.

This is possibly one of the more pathetic attempts at a list I've seen a blog put out, aside from that crap LTME does every now and again, laughable.

Some obvious selections make the cut, Velvet Underground, GNR, Pearl Jam, Talking Heads etc. But many baffle me. Miles Davis had accomplished recordings prior to the release of Birth of Cool, and despite my endless love of Led Zeppelin, the first album was more of a blues to rock standards album, some of which was arranged by Columbia records. Interesting to see Arcade Fire's Funeral so high, seems that should take a few more years to sink in, afterall the Fire hardly ahs the career that it's company has at their high spot.

The Band, Creedence, The Strokes...all grossly underrated. Perhaps the biggest WTF? moment happens at #71 Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes. It's a damn good album, but please, let's not mark it as one of the most important albums of all time just yet.

What are some others they left off?
