Die hard Led Zeppelin fan here, but I'd have to say overall it's Boston's first album.
I would also say The Cars first album was pretty good too and The Pretenders first album, but those both foretell the 80's more than the 70's and aren't really classic rock. So I say Boston. It's one of the best examples of 70's rock guitar playing and song writing all in one package which makes it hard to beat. |

Eh.
Appetite was a monster but it was more of the same. Kill em all was something new, and the start of an Empire. GnR faded away like all the cock rock Tranny bands of the era. |

Funny, I was thinking about this as a thread idea the other night in the shower.
Of the two poll options, Van Halen. Appetite has some legendary songs on it, but it doesn't have that start-to-finish whole album awesomeness. And while Van Halen doesn't quite have a Welcome to the Jungle caliber song on it, it's non-stop fantastic rock. The top debut albums I thought of in the shower, the ones that just absolutely fucking NAILED it and would have a "Classic Albums" episode one day if VH1 were still a thing are as follows: Shinedown - Leave a Whisper Disturbed - The Sickness Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory Seether - Disclaimer (admittedly heard it in its Disclaimer II incarnation, never the original) Stone Temple Pilots - Core |

Rolling Stone called them " possibly the most despised band in rock&roll history.
If you want to hear a power pop masterpiece give this debut album a listen. Get The Knack. Every fucking song is filled with hooks. Dirty little songs about dirty girls ;) You have to have been alive in 1979 to understand the meteoric rise and fall of this band. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The problem with this thread is that for any worthwhile rock band, the first album or two will of course be the strongest. The real prize should go to whichever band quits on the strongest album....For all the hatred they get here, the Beatles at least had the decency to break up while they were still relevant, and not keeping putting out trash for 20 years with 30 lineups. See the Stones, Metallica or U2 for an example of how not to do it. Three albums and nine years after Achtung, they were back near the top and very relevant again with the throwback rock/pop/folk album All That You Can't Leave Behind in 2000. Their last decent offering was 2004's How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which was also a throwback rock album with elements of folk and pop. Fact is, U2 had a number of peaks and valleys spread out over a very long stretch of time and were quite relevant for more than two decades. Not to mention, they had perhaps the greatest Super Bowl half-time show in history in January 2002, 22 years after their debut. |

I figured Boston would be on the list and in the lead. Probably deservedly so too; I like them but don't love them. Something about their sound doesn't quite give them most favored status with me
