let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Call me cheaty phil but I'm going to interpret "debut album" as the first "prog" album of a band, including from bands that did not start out as prog, as this is a prog site after all. So with this slight misinterpretation of the criteria, in chronological order:

Procol Harum- Procol Harum
Moody Blues - Days of Future Past
Jethro Tull - Stand Up
King Crimson- ITCOTCK
Caravan - Caravan
Genesis - Trespass
Yes- The Yes Album
Fuchsia - Fuchsia (they did release a second album, albeit over 40 years later)
Camel - Camel
Split Enz - Mental Notes
Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
Anthony Phillips- The Geese and the Ghost
