From this list CAMEL. But the best debut for me is Dream Theater's "When Dream and Day Unite".

Definitely Piper for me, but it's really a personal favorite for me unlike the others.

Magma , Yes , PF and Softs are battling so hard I had to go for other  - the darkside - Univers Zero 1313. Though worth mentioning is Present's Triskaidekaphobie  ( Fear of the Number 13 ).

Man, this has got to be one of the easiest polls I've participated in. Cool Magma's debut is a steal! The album that started all that madness that is Zeuhl. Classic album - very consistent. I've always enjoyed the darker atmosphere of it compared to Vander's later works. It's great. Thumbs Up

good choice. I like the first two Triumvirat albums , less keen after that tbh
Thanks, i like something in all of the Triumvirat records, though i consider the first three the only essential prog albums from the bunch. My order of preference is
                                                                                Illusions
                                                                               Spartacus
                                                                               Mediterranean Tales
                                                                               Pompeii
                                                                                Old Loves Die Hard
                                                                               A La Carte
                                                                               Russian Roulette
                                                                                          Tongue

I tried to contain only English and American bands mainly. Also they weren't very much 'known' and aren't considered as the 'classic' prog bands to non-prog fanatics.

Thinking about it, I could've added Focus since Hocus Pocus was played throughout rock stations.

I voted other, because of this one:
or else I would probably go for either Soft Machine or Floyd...

I picked Camel with Magma next.
I'm not sure what the "other" includes but i'm thinking Mahavishnu Orchestra, Anekdoten, Anglagard.

I really like GG's debut, but I have to give my vote to Kobaïa. Love that one!

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).


Gryphon's version of the "Unquiet Grave" off their début is a particular favourite of mine:
Duos for fave acts
