    What are your picks?

    This is on a whim, and of course limited to those I own:

    1) Guns n Roses "Appetite for Destruction"
    2) Van Halen "Van Halen"
    3) Cheap Trick "Cheap Trick"
    4) KISS "KISS"
    5) Sex Pistols "Never Mind the Bollocks"
    6) Ramones "Ramones"
    7) The Yo-Yo's "Uppers and Downers"
    8) Motley Crue "Too Fast for Love"
    9) Ozzy Osbourne "Blizzard of Ozz"
    10) The Doors "The Doors"

    I have several honorable mentions.

    Unfortunately, no Radiohead or Moby in my list, but maybe someday I'll learn. ;)

    This is tough considering so many bands with good debut albums ended up as their debut being their ONLY record.

    Van Halen I
    The Rembrandts (untitled)
    Counting Crowes - August and Everything After
    Dave Matthews Band - Under the Table and Dreaming (first major label release)

    This is a good question and I would list these in no particular order (limiting this list to CDs that I own) and covering all different genres of music:

    Facelift - Alice in Chains
    Bee Gees 1st - Bee Gees (Don't laugh...definitely not DISCO)
    Exit Planet Dust - Chemical Brothers
    Parachutes - Coldplay
    Vegas - Crystal Method
    Danzig - Danzig
    Deep Forest - Deep Forest
    No Angel - Dido
    Mcmxc A.D. - Enigma
    Oxygene - Jean Michel Jarre
    Unknown Pleasures - Joy Division
    Leftism - Leftfield
    Blue Lines - Massive Attack
    Bat Out of Hell - Meat Loaf
    Pretty Hate Machine - NIN
    The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld - The Orb
    Orbital 1 - Orbital
    Blizzard of Ozz - Ozzy Osbourne
    Ten - Pearl Jam
    Exile in Guyville - Liz Phair
    Gish - Smashing Pumpkins (first album)
    Core - Stone Temple Pilots
    Maxinquaye - Tricky
    Dubnobasswithmyheadman - Underworld
    Utah Saints - Utah Saints

    If I was pressed to cut this list to 5, I would probably keep Ozzy, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Chemical Brothers, and NIN.

    Pablo Honey by Radiohead is a decent CD but I don't like it as much as the other Radiohead CDs that I have.

    Such a wide array of selected material, lacking in one area though. The Go Go's-Beauty and the Beat, albeit a personal favorite, is an album that cannot go unnoticed. Especially since they are the most successful female band of all time. :)

    Some good choices, here. Personally, "The Kick Inside" is okay, but my favorite Kate Bush CD (and the only other one I got right now) is "Hounds of Love", an incredible listening experience.

    Raven....Smash was like the 3rd or so album from the Offspring




    And what about Green Day-Dookie. Great album top to bottom. I know that they were Operation Ivy first, then split to become Rancid, but wasn't Out comes the Wolves Rancids first? If so a great album also. And how can you guys leave off the Boss's first album?
