Quote: Splodge @ September 18 2009, 10:50 AM BSTI will add The Smiths by The Smiths.
Louder Than Bombs by The Smiths.
Come On Pilgrim by The Pixies. Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes. Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction. Suede by Suede.
Their first album was their best Page 3
Quote: Kenneth @ September 18 2009, 12:34 PM BSTLouder Than Bombs by The Smiths.
More of a collection than an album proper though.
To misquote Partridge:
"My favourite Beatles album? I would have to say, 'The Best Of The Beatles'.
(Bombs isn't a best of, but I wanted to use that line!)
"Who were 'Wings'? They were only the band 'The Beatles' might have been."

The first being "2 multiplied by 10, plus 1, Romeo Dunn"...obviously.
Quote: Nil Putters @ September 18 2009, 12:23 AM BSTLA Woman & What's The Story? for me there.
NIN - Pretty Hate Machine
Jesus Jones - Liquidizer
Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters
I actually like NIN -'With Teeth' better. Overall I think Reznor's new stuff is better. Besides 'Head Like a Hole' I thought PHM was terrible but I dislike Dance music and it was pretty much techno.
Foo Fighters first album was awesome but I like almost all Foo Fighters albums. I don't know which one I could pick one.
Quote: swerytd @ September 18 2009, 11:39 AM BSTI thought Coldplay's Parachutes wouldn't be bettered, but they did it straight away with A Rush Of Blood To The Head.
Dan
I haven't liked a Coldplay album until their most recent.
My offer is Rage Against the Machine's self titled album. I liked Evil Empire too but their first album was down right addictive for me.

No. "I've been working on a cocktail, called Grounds For Divorce"

Tenacious D's first album 'Tenacious D'.
Quote: bigfella @ September 18 2009, 10:41 AM BSTNot their first album - that was "Lies"
Lies was a double Ep from 1988, with Live ?!*@ Like a Suicide recordings on one side (released as Ep before Appetite For Destruction) and four acoustic songs on the other. Appetite For Destruction is still their first full-length.
Either way the release dates for AfD was 87 and Lies was 88.
Now how about that Chinese Democracy eeeeh?! eh? 
Belle & Sebastian's 'Tigermilk'. They have done some great albums, but this is my favourite of theirs
The first Von Bondies album, Lack Of Communication:
The Pretenders - The Pretenders
First Silver Sun album:
First Weezer album:
I was going to say not many bands hit it off with their first album.
However the first Stranglers album was brilliant.
Quote: JohnnyD @ September 18 2009, 11:59 AM BSTGoing all eighties:
Lexicon of Love is a great album that ABC never bettered.
Similarly Soft Cell and Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret.
Two very good albums although I thought ABC's Beauty Stab was brilliant too.
The first Santana album was great too.
I love Weezer's first album so, so much. "Say It Ain't So." Woot!
