Freshman year (1966) we wore this album out, every song a hit.

Here's a medley of songs from their first album

Alannah Myles - Black Velvet

 

[meyers7]

Jeremy from Pearl Jam's debut Ten. (had Alive, Evenflow and Black also)

 

[meyers7]

The Weight was on The Band's debut album. Music From Big Pink.

Here with the Staple Singers.

 

[Scud49]

Jethro Tull - Bouree, from their debut album "Stand Up":

 

[meyers7]

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.

Joe Cocker - "Feelin' Alright" from his debut album:

 

[bantamlaker]

I’m going to cheat a little here. The debut album Jefferson Airplane Takes Off was released in 1966 but without Grace Slick. She joined the group later that year and in 1967 they released their breakout album Surrealistic Pillow.

 

[Jackcatscal]

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.

 

[Spaceman213J]

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.

 

[64Zcode]

Heart's debut album - Dreamboat Annie - had a couple major songs: Crazy On You, with the acoustic guitar opening riff,
and Magic Man. The title cut was excellent as well but not sure it reached "icon" status.



HEART - Crazy On You (1976)

 

[RockyMTblue2]

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.

I feel like us old duckts are losing control here.

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:

All this Eagles stuff has me thinking about this one:

 

[Bigboote]

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

 

[Sifaka]

If you are impatient, skip to about 1:40. It will be familiar if you are anywhere near my ancient status.

 

[Scud49]

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:

Great album!
