STEVE HACKETT - Voyage of the Acolyte
Triumvirat - Mediterranean Tales

  
Some people wrong about Rick Wakeman's debut, although it's not my favourite, this is the correct one: Piano Vibrations (1971): 
   
And I see people forgot two excellent albums:
  
Locanda delle Fate - Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Più (unfortunately first and last):
   
Unreal City - La Crudelta Di Aprile (still the debut, hopefully not for long time):

^Re Piano Vibrations: Wakeman was snookered on that one. It was released to capitalize on the popularity of others pop hits, and that by Polydor without Wakeman's input, though he had no standing to stop it.

Rick Wakeman says it isn't. We class it as a compilation album. His début solo album is Six Wives.

Rick's Perspective
Notes

This was never meant to be a solo album and to be honest I certainly don't count it as a solo album in any respect. True it is a piece of history, but not one I'm proud of.

I was actually booked to play piano on a session at Pye Studios in London's Marble Arch and it was to play on some backtracks for an unknown singer who was due in later that week to put his vocals on.

Shortly afterwards I started having some success with Strawbs and the next thing we knew was that the album was being put out by PYE Records as "Piano Vibrations" with no vocalist and with a picture of me on the back.

I was unhappy and A&M Records, who had Strawbs and myself signed, were
furious.

I received £9 for my trouble.
What?

^A pound a track is pitiful, even in a Seventies economy.

My favourite debut albums:

Obviously, King Crimson with their In the Court of the Crimson King
By all means Premiata Forneria Marconi with their Storia di un Minuto
Maybe Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso.
Monarch Trail and Luminescence from new stuff

A good topic - and a few contenders if we're talking about end to end albums:

Pavlov's Dog - Pampered Menial
Golden Earring - Moontan
Captain Beyond - Captain Beyond
Scorpions - Lonesome Crow

I'd put In the Court of the Crimson King, but if you took out Schizoid Man and Epitaph the rest aren't up to par imo

Camel
Elp
Atomic rooster
Samurai
Ronnie Foster
Greenslade
Zao
Oblivion express
National health
Uk
Sloche
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Off the top of my head:

King Crimson (obviously)
Genesis - From Genesis to Revelation (really underrated IMO)
ELP - s/t
Camel - s/t (especially with Homage to the God of Light live)
Anglagard - Hybris
Aphrodite's Child - End of the World (some really good song writing there)
Pink Floyd - Piper at the Gates of Dawn (because Pink Floyd, guys)
The Soft Machine - s/t (because Pink Floyd reminded me)
PFM - Storia Di Un Minuto
Renaissance - Prologue (the first album with that line-up, Rajah Khan is perfect prog)
Yes - s/t (see Aphrodite's Child above)
