Going with Bowie's debut. Not a favorite of a lot of folks, but I find it charming. Pre-glam period too. I sound amazing covered in paper plates.

Pilot, although it's Virginia Plain to see that Roxy Music will be the most likely winners here. Smile

Good grief, Paul... these polls get weirder..

It would have to be Roxy out of that lot, although I was never a big fan...

I think I would have lost any credibility I have remaining here if I'd given the Bay City Rollers debut any more than two stars. Tongue

Voted for T.Rex's debut which marked a significant transition from the sound of their previous incarnation as Tyrannosaurus Rex.

I've never been a fan of the original Tyrannosaurus Rex, but I was hooked when I heard Metal Guru by T.Rex for the first time in 1972 - one of the first four singles I ever bought, alongside Take Me Bak 'Ome by Slade, Little Willy by Sweet and California Man by The Move.

Roxy Music's debut would be my second choice - they had a far more proggy sound on their first two albums when Brain Eno was their resident knob twiddler.

Oooooh, that first Roxy LP - one of my favorite albums of any genre.  If There Is Something......not only my favorite Roxy tune but also my favorite Bowie cover.  
I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....
