I agree with FW -- I always thought Piper at the Gates of Dawn got a lot more praise than it deserves. I think a few songs are absolutely brilliant (namely: "Astronomy Domine", "Matilda Mother", "Interstellar Overdrive", "Chapter 24") and a couple songs are always very good if not innovative ("Lucifer Sam" and "Bike"), but a lot of them are incredibly cheesy and too incoherent to get any real meaning out of them.

"Script..." is not derivative - it is a MASTERPIECE!!!

That is why it has so many votes

King Crimson. (duhh...)
Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be or seem to be self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free
time.

KING CRIMSON and MARILLION... of course "In the court..." is one of the most influential albums in prog rock...

Can't beat Crimson here. The others are great but none were as well done musically AND made as much an impact on the prog music scene. Piper and Script for a Jester's Tear come close but IMO are not on the same level of Crimson's ItCotCK musically.

I'm currently rediscovering Script For A Jester’s Tear, and it's pretty damn good.

I was absolutely in love with this album(as with all Fish Era Marillion) when I was younger.

I would have voted for High Tide's "Sea Shanties" as best debut album, but it is not on the list. I really wonder why Gentle Giant did not get more votes; their first album is excellent. So it gets my vote here.

Of those listed, Marillion's excellent Script for a Jester's Tear - by a mile. Most of the rest are very ordinary or really poor (I haven't heard Anglagard's Hybris)

Horslip's brilliant Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part annihilates all of them and Camel is as good as any.

Amon Düül 2's "Phallus Dei" or Embryo's "Opal" come to my mind, as well as Can's "Monster Movie". And how about Gryphon's first self-titled album? Or Magma's?

The first album of Atomic Rooster is another stunning debut.
