Best Debut Rock Album?

[GraniteCityDon]

Appetite for Destruction, without a doubt one of the most complete albums ever recorded.

On a side note, if Shinedown had decided to scrap the 2 pieces of shit they released before "Sound of Madness" i would put that right up there with anything.

Yeah every song on the Sound of Madness is awesome. Just as GNR Appetite for Destruction.

Also Diary of a Madman from Ozzy was great!!!!

[NordicNerd]

Gotta go with Van Halen.

Good choice!

The special edition of SOM has 2 songs that should have made it onto ANY album of their genre, Son of Sam is near perfection.

[The Ugly]

Also Diary of a Madman from Ozzy was great!!!!

"Blizzard" was the debut, though.

Alice In Chains - Facelift

[#1 Klaus fan]

Thats quite an impressive list!

Conclusion from that list: Only the English speaking countries can make competent rock and roll.

With Golden Earring (Dutch) as an exception, this is true....

sweet home alabama = werewolves of london
tuesdays gone = glycerine
every breath you take = all i have to do is dream

if you listen, nearly all music you hear has already been done.




cobain didn't steal anymore than anyone else steals.  all music is just a huge game of theme and variation.

true...
