Bands/Artists whose FIRST album was their best?
Rage against the Machine-Self-Titled
Jay-Z-Reasonable Doubt Notorious B.I.G-Ready to Die Portishead-Dummy |
Machine Head!!! If you like Pantera-style metal, you *must* hear Burn My Eyes!
|
If I sat down and put the same fair amount of thought I put into the final album topic, I'm fairly certain the list would be enormous.
|
Linkin Park so far.
|
Just my opinion...
Stone Roses - Stone Roses (no follow-up could be worthy of the hype) DJ Shadow - Entroducing (again, the hype, but to a lesser degree) Morrissey - Viva Hate (of his few proper, non-compilation albums) Most would say De La Soul's first (Three Feet High and Rising), but I prefer Buhloone Mind State by just a little more. |
I could probably think of a lot, but the first one that came to mind was:
Violent Femmes |
Guns N' Roses, Appetite For Destruction
I don't agree with it, but Pearl Jam's Ten would/will be a popular choice. |
The Black Crowes - Shake Your Money Maker
Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction Wu-Tang Clan - Enter The Wu-Tang |
Absolutely too many to list: the trip-hop trifecta of Portishead, Tricky, and Massive Attack fit this description, as do many, many other bands, including Elastica, Deee-Lite, Stone Roses, Son Volt, Liz Phair, etc.

If you don't count Stoney and Meat Loaf, and you shouldn't, <I>Bat Out of Hell</I>.

Guns N' Roses
Rage Against The Machine Stone Temple Pilots Godsmack |

Originally posted by Ginwen I could probably think of a lot, but the first one that came to mind was: Violent Femmes Boston Pearl Jam |
Nas - Illmatic
Dr. Dre - The Chronic GZA - Liquid Swords |
Pearl Jam's Ten was their best album by far.
|
Agree with Guns n Roses, GZA, Wu Tang, Tricky, Violent Femmes, DJ Shadow, Dr. Dre.
I'll throw in... Sublime - 40 oz. to Freedom Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted |
Smashing Pumpkins - Gish
Pixies - Surfer Rosa Moby - Moby Luscious Jackson - Natural Ingredients Devo - Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! Doors - Doors Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced? Beth Orton - Trailer Park Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters edited due to my mistake |

Originally posted by Virex Guns N' Roses, Appetite For Destruction I don't agree with it, but Pearl Jam's Ten would/will be a popular choice. Anyway: Pearl Jam "Ten" Stone Temple Pilots "Core" Black Sabbath - self titled |
Violent Femmes was my first thought as well.
The Cars REM (not counting EPs) Hoodoo Gurus Rain Parade (again, not counting their EP) Wow, this list really could be long. Just have to say that I very much disagree with some of the above names listed as the first being the best. |
Suicidal Tendencies - their s/t first album is a classic
The Replacements - Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash is another classic in my book |
Pearl Jam
Stone Temple Pilots Nine Inch Nails Jewel |
Ben Folds Five
|
Originally posted by Rocky_Stallone Uh, I thought Gn'R "Lies" was their first album? Lies technically isn't an album, anyway. It's an EP. The first four songs weren't even "live"--they were studio versions with a track of a live audience thrown in afterwards. Another first-album-best-album I thought of was The Cranberries' Everyone Else is Doing it, So Why Can't We? |
