yes def
i agree with funeral and beutiful freak definitely
bright lights is awesome, and so is fever to tell
and also Oh! inverted world (not counting them as flake music)

altho i think funeral really. for a debut album. especially considering the EP before it sounds so sparse and dispassionate in comparison
very tough! five that come to mind
Bloc party - silent alarm
Mars volta - de-loused
digitalism - idealism
norma jean - bless the martyr kiss the child
deftones - adrenaline
right now:
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Secret Machines - Now Here is Nowhere

and Interpol obv.
well, well, well
1. DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
2. Wu-Tang - 36 Chambers
3. Mogwai - Young Team

I'll blatantly miss something obvious
The Bronx - s/t (First one that sprung to mind)
Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am
Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Rage Against The Machine - s/t
Also wanted to include Oceansize, Auf Der Maur, Idlewild, 80s Matchbox, loads really....
i thought about oceansize

I expected more 'Slanted & Enchanted'.
Mine are:
'Enter the 36 Chambers' - Wu Tang Clan
'Bleach' - Nirvana
'Homework' - Daft Punk
'Kaleidoscope' - Kelis
'Weezer' - Weezer.
Fuck. That was so 90's.
Inital Thoughts
Talking Heads - 77
The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts
Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance
British Sea Power - The Decline of...
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Special mentions for Interpol, The Velvet Underground, DFA 1979 and Why? too.
Damn this is difficult.
1) The Clash - The Clash
then in no real order
Funeral - Arcade Fire
Hope is Important - Idlewild (if we're not counting mini albums)
F#A# - GY!BE
Finding the Rhythms / Fuel for the Hate Game - Hot Water Music (depending on wether a collection of previously released works counts as a debut album)

Forgot Do you know who you are? - Texas is the Reason
The Libertines - Up the Bracket
Hope of the States - The Lost Riots
Arctic Monkeys - WPSIATWIN
Badly Drawn Boy - Hour of Bewilderbeast
The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls

in no order
Mogwai - Young Team
Oceansize - Effloresce
Hope of the States - The Lost Riots
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
Godspeed - F#A#
bugger.
Blackened Sky by Biffy in place of Silent Alarm...
No particular order...
Biffy Clyro - Blackened Sky
Texas is the Reason - Do You Know Who You Are?
The Appleseed Cast - The End of the Ring Wars
The Manchester Orchestra - I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child
Thursday - Waiting
Just missing out were Finch, Slint, Silverchair, Fightstar, Aereogramme and Dismemberment Plan
this is hard
LCD Soundsystem - S/T
Led Zeppelin - S/T
RATM - S/T
The Zutons - Who Killed
And then... i know this really defeats the point of the thread, but its either
Homework-Daft Punk, TOTBL - Interpol or Peace Love and Death Metal by EoDM.
I think.
shit
i forgot deloused in the comatorium.
But deliberately didnt include Are You Experienced
Here's mine:
1) The Smiths - The Smiths
2) The Decemberists - Castaways & Cutouts
3) Minor Threat - Out Of Step
4) Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
5) Public Enemy - Yo! Bumrush The Show
hate to be...
... a spoilsport, but this is impossible!
Off the top of my head: The United States of America, the Monks, Television, Talking Heads, Sex Pistols, Pavement, PIL, Architecture In Helsinki, Les Georges Leningrad, Arcade Fire, the Ramones, Jeff Buckley, Kate Bush... I'd just end up kicking myself for forgetting my favourites!
liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted
British Sea Power - The Decline of British Sea Power
Arcade Fire - Funeral
Mogwai - Young Team
Probably very predictable but I'm too tired to think in more detail...
Wolf Parade and Death From Above 1979 should be in there too, really. But meh.
oh
and the fucking Velvet Underground. Oh well.
Most of my favourite albums are debut albums
Beulah - Handsome Western States
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Pixies - Surfer Rosa
Les Savy Fav - 3/5
Born Ruffians - Red, Yellow & Blue
OK
REM - Murmur
Bjork - Debut
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
PJ Harvey - Dry
Brian Eno - Here Come the Warm Jets
If Brian Eno doesn't count I'd probably put in Interpol
blue album, owls, queens of the stone age, horse of the dog, repeater
Weezer - Blue Album is clearly the winner
Followed by:
Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Silence
The Bled - Pass The Flask
Boys Night Out - s/t
Circa Survive - Juturna
Although
I could add at least another 5 to that!
A Few I Thought Of
Pavement - slanted & enchanted
big black - atomizer
Nico - Chelsea Girl
Ramones - Ramones
The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psychocandy
Fugazi - Repeater
Built to spill - Perfect from now on
sorry more than 5
OK now i am interested how many on your list do you consider to the artists best album? I pretty much think all the above are the best work (though i consider pavement to have equaled this with CRCR)
Perfect From Now On
wasn't Built to Spill's debut.
Apologies

Awesome.
No-one's said 'Low' yet.
