Like your list (other then Wu Tang and Badu), but one huge problem I have with it: Marilyn Manson.
Mad props to brian Warner and his band, but there debut album sucked ass hard. HARD.
Cool thread but my fav hasn’t been listed.
My fav debut album was Sunny Day Real Estates ~ Diary
Mudhoney ~ Mudhoney is up there on my list too
Nirvana’s ~ Bleach is still one of my favorite debuts
Paw’s ~ Dragline album was good (it was a major label debut not sure if they had an earlier indy release)
Pedro the Lion ~ Its Hard to Find a Friend was very good
The Postal Service ~ Give Up was good
Quicksand ~ Slip was awesome! (not sure if they had any albums previous though)
Roy ~ Big City Sin & Small Town Redemtion is one of my favs
Silversun Pickups ~ Carnavas is totally dope
Sparta ~ Wiretap Scars is always a good one to crank up
I also really enjoy Texas is the Reason’s ~ Do You Know Who You Are album, wish they would have lasted a bit longer.
My fav debut album was Sunny Day Real Estates ~ Diary
Yeah that`s a good one.Ever notice how Jeremy`s voice changed over time?When I first heard The Rising Tide I wondered what happened as compared to Diary 
Dag Nasty — Can I Say
The Nils — The Nils
Dub Syndicate — Pounding System
Culture — Two Sevens Clash

After they got back together and were on tour to support How it Feels to be Something On, Jeremy blew out his vocal chords. It was pretty bad, after he got his voice back it was never quite the same. He smokes too, so I’m sure that has affected his voice over time.
Still he is an amazing songwriter and singer. One of my favs.
