That's what "other" is meant for. I voted for Kobaia,
and it was an easy choice despite loving several on the list (I know
them all), and having lots of beloved débuts that I could have mentioned
as an "other" 'choice. I think that Kobaia is a knock-out début
album. Magma is one of my absolute favourite bands, and that is my
favourite album by Magma. I find it a stunning double-album début.

I love later Floyd, but I was never a fan of the Syd Barrett dominated band and Piper doesn't do it for me.
The first Giant album is good, but my vote goes to Camel, who hit the ground running and never stopped.
Other great debuts: Druid (Toward the Sun) Horslips (Happy to Meet, Sorry to Part) and Gryphon (Gryphon).

Even with YES and CAMEL, my vote goes to the only original Syd Barrett's album. The most revolutionary album of Pink Floyd's history.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Gentle Giant <3 After that, a very underrated one: The Aerosol Grey Machine.

I may be wrong, but I think the OP deliberately avoided debut albums that are considered "classics" - these are debut albums by classic bands, but where the debut albums are not commonly considered their best work; in fact, they're sometimes ignored.

Hm, neither one band doesn't fit here at all - Mahavishnu is Fusion, Anglagard aren't classics but rather their followers.

I´ve been hesitating between Yes and Camel. But I finally decided to Yes debut, which is still a little more succeeded.

No vote because I'm only familiar with the following: The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Gentle Giant, Freak Out!, The Soft Machine. Out of these, it would be Gentle Giant.

In regards to Yes and This Was, there was a fundamental change from the debuts to the second albums. The addition of a new guitarist in each case, The Yes Album (Steve Howe) and Stand Up (Martin Barre) offer a night and day contrast from debut to second album, and the approximation of the actual "sound" of each band going forward.
Of the albums listed, I chose The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
|
Well done! I picked Yes, it was very influential on me even though they did a few covers. BTW, the second Yes album was the remarkable "Time and a Word," still featuring Peter Banks on guitar.
This is quite an excellent performance from the first LP, if you've never seen this...rare Peter Banks footage!! (sorry, the player embed function isn't working for some reason)

Voted 'other' -UK's debut album. Perhaps thats a 'cheat' considering they were a supergroup?

Their debut is the most strikingly beautiful and brilliantly played ones by anybody i have ever heard. It tends to be a bit under-rated, though, around here.They did not have Helmut Koellen within their ranks yet, but Jurgen Fritz on keys leads the band amazingly well.

good choice. I like the first two Triumvirat albums , less keen after that tbh
