Fully subjective of course, but most of us (loosely the Baby-Boomer Generation) have grown up listening to the best music this culture has been able to offer -- namely from the 50s-late 80s. We more than other generation were able to fully gauge, critique and appreciate each era and genre fully with a discriminating ear.
For the sake of this exercise of opinion, the premise and challenge is, "BEST 3 DEBUT ALBUMS".
The stiffest competition would actually be between the 70s and 80s.
Rock Music (as a viable "Pop Music" genre died in the 20th Century. ergo, RIP, 1955-1999
Given the 1950s were mostly a decade of singles as were much of the 60s, they are numerically at a disadvantage.
I would give the nod to the 1970s as by far the best decade for album themed music. It combined the best of production value, technology resources, and conscious decision by record companies to produce "theme" albums. Often artists and groups would be embarrassed to include "filler".
I'm going to cheat and submit 5 Top Debut Albums (in chronological order):
1) Chicago (Transit Authority, 1970) 2) Derek and the Dominoes (Layla, 1972) 3) Bad Company (Bad Company, 1974) 4) Boston (1976) 5) Foreigner (1977)
I remember he did a concert at my college in the early 80s. By that time, he was obviously balding and had trimmed his hair short. There were literally girls crying asking "what happened to his hair?"
