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)
A couple of the Boston tracks do sound a bit dated...
But over all, pretty still fresh to me.
We're all bound to have a diverging opinion, but to me Boston's debut album was 20 years a head of its time. There's still nothing that sounds like it.
D&D...Timeless album. To bad they couldn't follow it up. Clapton was a amzing artist.
Drummer Jim Gordon -- ever hear *his* story? GREAT drummer. Too bad he was psychopath.

I'll see you, and raise you "Beware of Mr. Baker" on Netflix or wherever.
I love listening to Clapton in any of his incarnations, with any other group of musicians. Has anybody else ever been a founding member of so many supergroups? It's too bad he's in decline finally but man, what a legacy.
Ever catch any of the Crossroads Blu-rays or CDs? I bow my head just thinking about them.

Gordon murdered his own mother. (Dunno if Mr. Baker beats that. Don't get Netflix.)

Good question. I'd have to think it over....
Clapton was creative for a good 20 years.
Ever catch any of the Crossroads Blu-rays or CDs? I bow my head just thinking about them.

Nope. Maybe it can be found on YouTube?
I would be shocked if there is ever a period of time in all of eternity that you couldn't just buy them on-line anytime you want. They,like most of Pink Floyd's releases,will never go out of print.
Maybe so... but The Wall was more than 15 songs on vinyl.
Rare that I agree with GI; "The Wall" was much more. Try a video link authored by Roger Walters. Turn up the volume of your surround speaker system. You won't regret it.
