Iconic Songs from a Debut Album

This requires a little bit of explanation. It's not Richard Thompson's first recorded stuff. (That was Fairport Convention.) But it's his first recording with his wife Linda Thompson. And I think the album is an underappreciated classic.

 
I'd go with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with Nirvana and would have to go with "Straight Outta Compton" by NWA. The first pretty much killed hair metal and the other unleashed a whole new style of rap to the mainstream.

Take It Easy was the 1st song on the Eagles debut album. Eagles.

Here's a early version. Without Felder or Walsh. With Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner. Along with Jackson Browne on piano.

Take It Easy and this one were always a tie with me out of that album:

Music was never quite the same after Freak Out. Double albums, progressive rock, avant-garde rock, his guitar solos . . .

 
The Flying Burrito Brothers - Christine's Tune. It first appered on their debut album "The Gilded Palace of Sin" but I've taken the liberty of pulling this live version off of their live album:

Willin', from Little Feat's first album.

I been warped by the rain
Driven by the snow
I'm drunk and dirty, don't you know
And I'm still... willin'
And I was out on the road late at night
I seen my pretty Alice in every headlight
Alice, Dallas Alice...

(I just read that band leader Lowell George wrote this song while he was a member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention.)

yes he did and he and bassist Roy estrada left the Mothers to form little Feat with Billy Payne and Richard Haywood and sam clayton. Estrada left and was replaced by Kenny gradney who has been in the band since the second album. Other members of the band have been Bonnie Raitt and linda Ronstadt and Emmy lou Harris. Lead singers have included Craig fuller of pure prairie league and Shaw Murphy. Paul Barre replaced Lowell after he died in 1978 of drug abuse. Paul sadly passed away a few years ago.

Harry Belafonte's breakthrough album Calypso (1956) became the first LP in the world to sell more than 1 million copies within a year. He stated that it was the first million-selling album ever in England. The album is number four on Billboard's "Top 100 Album" list for having spent 31 weeks at number 1, 58 weeks in the top ten, and 99 weeks on the U.S. chart. The album introduced American audiences to calypso music (which had originated in Trinidad and Tobago in the early 19th century), and Belafonte was dubbed the "King of Calypso."

One of the songs included in the album is the now famous "Banana Boat Song" (listed as "Day-O" on the Calypso LP), which reached number five on the pop chart, and featured its signature lyric "Day-O".

Technically, this was the second album of Linda Ronstadt and the Stone Poneys, but

The first album, simply called The Stone Poneys, was more folk than rock and featured relatively few lead vocals by Ronstadt; it received little notice.

For the second album, Evergreen, Volume 2, the songs were in more of a rock vein; and Linda was moved firmly into the lead vocalist position, with only occasional harmony vocals. The album includes the band's only hit song, "Different Drum".
