| I was wondering how many bands' first album was their best. Spock's Beard The Light comes to mind. I would also put an honorary mention to Starcastle's first, Yes clone that it may be. Any Thoughts? (parts 1 to.......) |

Anglagard comes to mind with their album Hyrbis. Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells is one of his best, and definitely most well known albums. Hard to pick one out among the rest for him, though. ------------- Want to play mafia? Visit http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com" rel="nofollow - here . |

This is a question I hope no one has an answer for. As we all like to think of our favorite artists improving with time and each successive release. The first album ideally should be a taste of greater highs to come. Unfortunately, that being as it may... The closest prog-related example I could think of is the first Residents album, but then I remembered Duck Stab is my favorite. |

heh, I'd argue Trilogy for the strongest album. One other band I've thought of is Mothers Of Invention.

Most first albums are suspect, but: Toward The Sun - Druid Hybris - Anglagard The Crossing - Big Country (I know they are not prog, but they have a lot of prog characteristics) are examples of spectacularly good debuts. Oh, and Asia's ST debut is much better than the lemon most people rate it as.

Very few Prog bands hit the ground running, most take a couple of albums to get into their stride and a lot of the early Prog bands didn't start out as Prog (as we know it). Script For a Jester's Tear was a great début that Marillion equalled but never surpassed; The Enid's In The Region Of The Summer Stars was another. De-Loused in the Comatorium is probably The Mars Volta's strongest album IMO. UK never improved on their eponymous début nor did Renaissance, (again, IMO). I would nominate Transatlantic's SMPTe and Ant Philip's The Geese And The Ghost, but I've not heard much of their other releases. ------------- What? |

Yeah this is getting out of hand Svetonio: I seem to remember advising you to cut back on the endless 'spamming' (clarification: stop it!). Either you don't read too well - or you simply don't care. Fact of the matter is that you overpost just about every thread you come near with pics and links with little to no communication happening. I know you don't think your English lingo is up to speed, but it'd be nice if you at least made an effort to be part of the community instead of being this lone gunman that clutters everything in spam. Now more than ever does it feel as if you're doing this out of spite, which probably is the poorest platform of all to build anything constructive on. I think I've given you your 'last' warning 2 or 3 times now, so you probably think of me as a woos who doesn't have the balls to show you the door. Well keep on doing this, and we'll very quickly find out. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I am one of those that prefers Fugazi over Script, but then again that seems to be part of the minority (although I think most folks, at least here on PA, largely hear Misplaced Childhood as their defining moment). I do however think there is some truth to what Dean said about Script never being surpassed only equalled. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I could argue a case for Lone Star's debut, although the follow is brilliant and they only made 3 or 4 albums anyway.
Wandering off the prog path slightly, for me the ultimate debut album that was never surpassed is Montrose. Van Halen is another prime example.

I didn't know PA had rules about not mentioning bands/albums not included in the archive. I'm fully aware these aren't considered prog but the opening poster didn't specify it had to be, so I simply wrote down the ones I could think of. Anyway had all these bands continued in the style of their debut they might actually have been here somewhere. Yes, even Tiny Tim. I tried to be as polite in my post as possible but I obviously managed to hurt your feelings anyway. That wasn't my intention.

Occasionally yes  Then again, I don't expect to get any response from Svetonio. He is mad at me for calling him out for what he is, and yes at times I've been extremely pissed off which my posts probably reflected. What people are unaware of, are the well mannered and friendly mails it all started out with. Simple and kind suggestions on how to behave on a public forum, and something as bizarre as common courtesy. Respecting the people you frequent on this board enough to spare them of your endless spamming, and maybe taking the time out to listen to what others have to say for a change. Maybe it's just me and the way I was brought up, but when I see patterns of continuously ignoring your surroundings, I get extremely frustrated. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I would say Svetonio's first post was pertinent, but the rest were offal. I guess that makes him a one-hit wonder.
As far as initial album releases that were great but the rest of a band's output being mediocre, isn't that par for the course in the recording industry?

Yea, the OP does not mention *prog* in the topic title, but this topic is posted in Prog Music Lounge. I don't care really if you're going to mention non-prog (i.e. not in PA) debut albums if you like to do so, but if the OP wanted the lists of non-prog debut albums, the topic would be in General Music discussions - where the topic have to go as per PA rules if the others start to follow your example and to post their favorite non-prog debut albums, and it certainly wasn't the OP desires.

Another aspect of just posting a pic of an album cover is that, many of them don't have the artists name on the front. I'm certainly not the only one not being familiar with every album from every artist listed in PA. Which makes those posts of no interest at all. |

As for my own suggestions I might not have any other reason than the obvious: imo they never released a better album. But an advantage a debuting band has with their first album is coming out of nowhere without expectations to meet and all that. I would imagine shoulders are lower, energy is higher and the joy and thrill of just being in a studio (well, back in the day) getting to record an album, realizing your teenage dreams etc. can be heard and felt. Doesn't necessarily mean it'll always turn out great of course, but a band can probably never get that kind of rush or sense of innocence back.

This is very true. I often talk about how much I adore the naive in music - the teen rebel "geist" that you often get from debuts.......but yes: sometimes it works - other times perhaps not so much. NEU!s debut is one of my absolute favourite albums full stop - and it perfectly illustrates the naive and almost childlike coming to effect through the music. It's so simple and unassuming, yet it works (probably also because there are so many layers, when you first get past the overt two or three note 'melody'. There's so much more going down, it's unreal). 75 on the other hand mixes the naiveness of the debut with intermittent post-punk anthems a la Bowie, which by no means are bad, but they ruin the flow of things and thus leaves the debut that more towering. There's a fluid feel there they never succeeded in reproducing. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Why I chose the debut albums that I have chosen? Hendrix' debut is a LP that changed rock music in general & forever. Brian Eno's debut album - Eno didn't repeat such an explosion of creativity than on his debut album. Imo, Eno did do great things later, but not as a solo; it was as a producer and as a (glorious) contribution to other people's albums. And even at the debut of that great contributor Mr Eno - there's one of the greatest Fripp's solos ever. The Doors - of course, 'cause of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSUIQgEVDM4" rel="nofollow - The End Hilllage's debut - the greatest English space rock guitarist at his heydays created an album without a weak moment. Phallus Dei is a new-grown, fresh and bold for your pleasure. Alan Persons Project's debut - I think that a comment is unnecessary. Memories Serves - early 80s NYC at its best. The debuts of Yugoslavian progressive rock bands Time, Pop Mašina and Leb i Sol - well, you have to trust me in this case. I am sorry if I forgot something. |

Oh and I forgot Briliant Trees - I chose this album because I love Jon Hassell's trumpet so much; also, there's Roxy Music's debut 'cause of 1) beautiful 'tron on Ladytron; 2) I love that spacey sax on Chance Meeting and 3) Mr Ferry's voice at Sea Breezes which is THE best song by them (imo). Unorthodox Behavior is one of the best English jazzrock LPs released in '70s and for sure the best moment of Brand X.
