Moseley Shoals would have been bang up there for me but strictly speaking OCS had a random debut album a few years early before a couple of members changed. Bit of a random fact but OCS first ever gig was at The Wheatsheaf in Stoke

Velvet Underground & Nico Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures Durutti Column - The Return of....... The Stone Roses All About Eve Oasis - Definitely Maybe Suede U2 - Boy The Wonder Stuff - 8 Legged Groove Machine The Strokes - Is this it? Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg The Family Cat -Tell 'Em We're Surfing
In at least half of those cases, they never topped the debut

Autobahn - Kraftwerk Catch a fire - Bob Marley and the Wailers Live at the witch trials - The Fall Chill Out - KLf (bit of a cheat as The Jamms had albums before) Germ Free Adolescent - X Ray Spex Kind of Blue - Miles Davis Tbh not come up with anything ground breaking here and nothing from this century (which says more about me than the Times) but just felt should be on this thread Kind of Blue????? You can't have that.....one of my favourites ever mind.

Little Joy-Little Joy One album and one album only sadly.Drummer from the Strokes,a singer who sounds like a slightly more refined Ju;lian Casablancas and the beautiful Binky Shapiro.....it is an astonishingly brilliant album.

While I'm stuck in the 70's try this. From 1979, produced by Robert Fripp who plays lead on this great track. I give you The Roches by The Roches.

Keep em coming Jimmy boy....The Hammonds is so brilliant....I remember someone had it as a choice on Desert island discs I subsequently listened to it ad nauseum for a good while.

There are too many good first albums. What about second albums that are better than the first ?

Leon Bridges: Coming Home is a wonderful debut album. It’s very polished and feels like a return to a time of R&B before George Michael.

Judee Sill - Judee Sill A tragic figure who produced two glorious albums. Andy Partridge called The Kiss the greatest song ever written. Who am I to argue? Her life story would make a great film and I heard Cameron Crowe had looked at doing it but nothing happened.

I'm sure a few of these already mentioned but cba to read the whole thread.
Nas - Illmatic
Biggie - Ready to Die
Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt
Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Janelle Monae - The Archandroid
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
The Prodigy - Experience
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Jeff Buckley - Grace
Massive Attack - Blue Lines
Portishead - Dummy
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (what an awful name btw)
The La's - The La's
Wutang Clan - 36 Chambers
Daft Punk - Homework
Kanye West - The College Dropout
There's 100% a bunch more I'm not remembering.
Also, Daft Punk - Discovery could arguably go on the list of 2nd albums better than the 1st.
