Nah, I won't think of best if not for favorite: Camel's is marvellous
Marillion's is very powerful vocal/lyric-wise
Floyd's a classic of psych, and lately I've been enjoying much more than I used to
Santana's debut is really unique
Mahavishnu's debut is stunning
Cobham's is one of my favorite jazz rock albums
I could go on, I've always been very fond of debut albums, they show lots of aspects from the band/artist that they would later wouldn't show.

I'm with Walter on this one. It's always been my most played of Gabriels albums. I'm probably out on a wing here, but I always really loved the Atomic Rooster debut album. Sadly the line up only lasted about 2 weeks after it's release. Also, Isn't it a damn shame that Trespass wasn't the Genesis debut, I could certainly live without Genesis To Revelation.  -------------

| I don't know so many debuts, but from the ones I know I like ItCotCK very much indeed (despite the Moonchild long solo). Even though Pink Floyd is perhaps my favourite band, I just don't really like Piper very much. Hybris is a really cool album too. And I may add Triana's "El Patio", which I really love. |

It's very original. I've heard some people call them Porcupine Tree-ripoffs, but I frankly don't see any comparison. In my humble opinion, they're much more creative than Wilson. By the way, the US release has one of their two best songs on it ("Arrival / The Intention Craft"). The UK release has the other one ("The Twyncyn / Trembling Willows"). The other differences are relatively inconsequential. I'd suggest buying the US release, but if you get REALLY into the band like I did, you may want to go ahead and get the other one too. Just a suggestion. ------------- "I am the one who crossed through space...or stayed where I was...or didn't exist in the first place...." |

I agree, the Court is the most likely the best. I also like Starcastle' s debut, PFM's Storia di un minuto, Steve Hackett's Voyage of the Acolyte (even though he played for genesis, but started his solo career with this one), and Anthony Phillip's The geese and the Ghost. |

 Quella Vecchia Locanda indeed. Excellent ! GrazieAccording to the lads themselves "Trespass" is the first true GENESIS album w/o Jonathan King´s lush orchestrations they didn´t like. King says he accepted no arguments about. Production and the end result of "From Genesis to Revelation" is King´s fantasy, not the boys´. He was the boss. Newborn Alphataurus & GENESIS REVISITED are the best ever happened in today´s prog and thus so special to be mentioned here. I know ´cos been there. GENESIS REVISITED EXTENDED LIVE is the best ever concert I have witnessed in the 2000´s. 3 hours of the classic (best) GENESIS music performed flawlessly by true enthusiasts & professional musicians & GENESIS music lovers and conducted by Maestro Steve Hackett himself. Me and my buddy closed our eyes and found ourselves shouting Knife ! And Nad Sylvan nailed the perfect illusion being in a GENESIS gig in the 70´s. Period. ------------- You may see a smile on Tony Banks´ face but that´s unlikely. |

Whenever these threads pop up I instantly think of NEU!'s selftitled debut. Never fails. Maybe it is because they never bettered it - and that is saying something as they made some astonishingly brilliant records both under the NEU moniker but also as solo artists (L.A. Düsseldorf springs to mind). ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

In my best album list from the beginning of the year, the best prog debut (as in "listed on PA") is "Herd of Instinct" by .O.rang by a stunning distance. This is a supercool album indeed but most of you will not know it (it's a Talk Talk spin-off). The best well known one is Tubular Bells (ranked 113 - I don't seem to appreciate many debuts). |

Sock it up matey! Henri Veal will never ever sneak his way down your missus' trouser department. The keys don't fit. Speaking of which, too few keys out there to muster up a real crowd. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I only got Herd of Instinct quite recently, which is odd given I've been a big fan of the late Talk Talk albums since they came out. It is indeed a very groovy platter! |

| Probably In the Court of the Crimson King. It's not only King Crimson's first album, it's also arguably their best work. |

 Yes, it's an absolute masterpiece, so much innovation in their work. Also, Henry Cow's Legend is quite legendary too!  ------------- Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV. https://www.soundcloud.com/user-322914325 |

Almost all debuts in prog are not all that. It's like they are still searching for a sound. Most of the times the musicians aren't that good, and it will take a few line-up changes to really get a good team. So most of the times the 2nd, 3rd or 4th album is much better than the debut. That being said, the following debuts were very promising and I hold very dearly: Queen - Queen I is messy and has a terrible production but is very charming. Uriah Heep - ... Very Eavy Very Umble is a weird album but is also very charming Gentle Giant - Gentle Giant, one of the best debuts I can think of. Camel - Camel not a favorite of many, and some songs can be boring, but I think it has something special, something naive.

This. I NEEEED THIS ALBUM! I don't care who remasters it, JUST DO IT! I'd like to nominate Spock's Beard's debut, The Light. While not perfect (The Water's FU), it's one of the few times where a band got it right from the word go (King Crimson is another example). There's not many other bands where track 1 of their debut album is regarded as one of their best works, even after 20 years and many further albums. It's interesting how many of what we may call prog legends had debut albums that we tend to brush over. Yes (self-titled), Genesis (From Genesis to Revelation), Dream Theater (When Dream and Day Unite), etc.

There are many great ones... Yezda Urfa National Health Hatfield and the North ELP Caravan King Crimson And a whole bunch of "one hit wonders" like Bubu, Bacamarte, Semiramis etc. Edit: Bacamarte made two records, but the first is the best anyway...and Bubu is recording their second LP right now.  ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |
