    Posted: November 17 2012 at 08:51
The debut album of a band is a hit or miss, sometimes a band begins their career with such a great debut, that they are doomed to be judged by it and hardly  ever reach this level again, in other cases is naive but cuter (Genesis) on others is way bellow their stature (Yes), but always has a special charm, please post your lists:

Here my corrected list
  1. Hybris - Anglagard
  2. In the Court ... - King Crimson
  3. Voyage of the Acolyte - Steve Hackett
  4. Six Wives of Henry the VIII .- Rick Wakeman
  5. Gothic Impressions - Par Lindh Project
  6. Depois Do Fim - Bacamarte
  7. Storia Di un Minuto - PFM
  8. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Arthur Brown
  9. Tubular Bells - Mike Oldfield
  10. El Patio - Triana
  11. Mediterranean Tales - Triumvirat
  12. Revolutions - Magenta
  13. Kansas - Kansas
  14. ELP - ELP
  15. Piper at the Gates of Dawn - Pink Floyd
  16. In and Out of Focus - Focus
  17. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco del Mutuo Soccorso
  18. Tales of Mystery & Imagination, Edgar Alan Poe - Alan Parsons Project 
  19. Welcome to the Freakroom - Shadow Circus
  20. This Was - Jethro Tull
