^ Meh, For Your Pleasure has Every Dream Home A Heartache and Bogus Man; Stranded more refined and Country Life was a better Canterbury-influenced Art-Rock album.

Actually, my bad too, Dean, I just more or less listed `cool debut albums'
Will have to offer a streamlined reply of titles!

Now you're just listing first albums. This is getting silly. Brilliant Trees is better than Secrets of The Beehive or First Day? Phallus Dei is better than Yeti, Tanz or Wolf City? Here Come The Warm Jets is better than Taking Tiger Mountain, Another Green World or Before And After Science?
Seriously?

Really? It's great and all, but surely not their best.

Definitely ELP self-titled, first Kansas, Nektar - `...Centre of the Eye', Floyd's `Piper', I.Q `Tales from the Lush Attic', `Marillion's `Script...' and the charming Yes and Jefferson Airplane debuts instantly come to mind for me personally!
Hell yes to works like Anglagard, White Willow, Tirill Mohn, the Flower Kings, Morte Macabre and Paatos `Timeloss' are all modern standouts for me as well

The answer is Led Zeppelin.

Very few Prog bands hit the ground running, most take a couple of albums to get into their stride and a lot of the early Prog bands didn't start out as Prog (as we know it). Script For a Jester's Tear was a great début that Marillion equalled but never surpassed; The Enid's In The Region Of The Summer Stars was another. De-Loused in the Comatorium is probably The Mars Volta's strongest album IMO. UK never improved on their eponymous début nor did Renaissance, (again, IMO). I would nominate Transatlantic's SMPTe and Ant Philip's The Geese And The Ghost, but I've not heard much of their other releases.

Most first albums are suspect, but:
Toward The Sun - Druid Hybris - Anglagard The Crossing - Big Country (I know they are not prog, but they have a lot of prog characteristics)
are examples of spectacularly good debuts.
Oh, and Asia's ST debut is much better than the lemon most people rate it as.
