Part one of some debuts of acts with ten or more studio albums. This is the product of a sleepless night some days ago, where I wasn't sure if I'd bother posting the list, but I think I will now (I added about twenty more just now). I have about 125 in total that I thought of that fit -- some I thought of and promptly forgot so expect some obvious omissions. There may be some debatable entries as debut (this is based on my checking) and not all are in PA.

Vote for up to five albums of these that you wish got more recognition (could be in the Prog community or by other audiences...) and/ or "respect" from people. It could be ones you think are underrated or underappreciated or underknown... This is, purposefully, open to interpretation and individual perspective, so approach that as thou will.   Many of these are very well-known here, but not in other communities. On second-thought, just vote for up to five albums that you like in the poll. :)

And feel free to mention any others with 10 or more studio albums not on the following list, but if doing so, please do ty to vote for and mention at least one from the poll. Thanks.

The first four were easy: Bowie, Bush, Banco and Black Sabbath.

The fifth could have been any one of many in this poll, and I was tempted to go for another “B” for consistency’s sake.

But I went for Art Zoyd.

Well, it looks as if I voted for six, and didn’t need to worry about a fifth at all!

Damn, my covid brain! I voted for five, then agonised over voting for a fifth that I had already voted for! D’oh!

So my five were Bowie, Bush, Banco, Black Sabbath and Can.
And since I can’t take back a vote, Art Zoyd was actually my sixth….

(And it likely would have been Amon Duul II that I’d have done for, if not Art Zoyd.)

Oh my goodness! No! And d’oh again!

I didn’t vote for Bowie at all, so I did vote for only five.

It’s all Bowie’s fault for naming his first two albums David Bowie. The Deram “David Bowie” is good, but not worthy of my vote for this poll. The Space Oddity “David Bowie” would get a vote, but it wasn’t his debut.

So I actually voted for Banco, Black Sabbath, Bush and Can.

Then agonised over a fifth, of which my beloved Bowie was still not a contender, and chose Art Zoyd.

I should not be allowed to vote in these polls. I’m clearly not capable…..

There will be some great albums in the next parts of this poll!

Oh, I never expected anyone to (although I was confident that some would skim through it at least). If I put up all five parts based on that and you take part in all five parts, then you'll see all 125 (or more) anyway. It made sense to me to share that master list here. Just going through the first 25, voting and listing your multiple choices is in itself a task without considering going through the master list. Thanks for thinking of it, though.

As for me, I will go with these five:
Can - Monster Movie
Amon Düül II - Phallus Dei
Art Zoyd - Symphonie pour le jour où brûleront les cités
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside

Special nods to Captain Beefheart, John Cale, Black Sabbath, Chicago, Clannad and David Byrne, and I like others.

Vote for Chicago. Not a fan of any other debuts on the list.

Allan Holdswoth and Mike Keneally both have more than ten albums, but are sadly missing from future list's. BTW, if you decide to include Allan, his first official release is I.O.U. Velvet Darkness was released without his permission.

^ Thanks, I had hoped that some would think of ones not on my list. I think I thought of Holdsworth, but then promptly forgot as a few other names entered my consciousness -- came faster than I could type them. I hadn't thought of Mike Keneally. One that came to mind right after I posted this topic is Kitaro, of which I own many albums (was huge on Kitaro in the late 80s and early 90s). Also Laurie Anderson just popped into my mind seemingly unbidden, and considering I mentioned two other Andersons, missing my favourite Anderson where Big Science is one of my very favourite albums is surprising since these lists come to mind in an associative manner. Course more and more names would come to mind if I kept thinking about it (as with many of us). I would expect many others to be thought of, so this series would go to six at least if continued (150 or so albums for the debuts if not many more).

The problem with these lists is that they could of course go on-and-on-and-on, or actually that is a good thing. Since it is alphabetically listed to make it easier to find things, it is a shame that I neglected Laurie Anderson. Think I would have voted for Big Science.

Not something I explored, but Jan Hammer could be listed too (just remembered that came up in the JRF poll.

Oh, and I had meant to include The Incredible String Band and Pentangle (don't think Pearls Before Swine quite cuts it).

Both are on the list. You can’t add what is already there!
