I saw Boston's very first gig in Waltham Mass and didn't stick around for the whole thing....I had gotten the single of "More than a Feeling" (the LP wasn't out yet) and I told Tom Scholz he ripped off Todd's "Couldn't I Just Tell You", and he said "Todd Rundgren??...maybe 'Tend My Garden'"...so I went home and listened to that, and OMG!!! He ripped off The James Gang, too!!!!

Pete, just watched this one again and this is one of your best episodes. Your assessment of the “best debuts” of Boston and Sabbath is absolutely perfect. You stated each as I would have done. I was fortunate enough to see Boston and Moxy open for Sabbath on their Technical Ecstasy tour. Even then it seemed to be a show that indicated a passing of the proverbial torch. Sabbath had seen their better days, and Moxy was good, but Boston was absolutely perfect. Thank God, I was fortunate to have seen many of the great bands in their best years. Thank you for posting your show for all of us to see!

Absolutely great episode! Your top two are right on the money, and you were able to weave together a very nice group of artists. Lots to pack into less than an hour. Thank you for posting!

​@@Claytone-Records It was good but of the present (R & B being huge in England at that time; Georgie Fame, the Who etc) but their Sgt Peppers was just that.The 2nd LP to achieve true Orchestral grandeur and to do it well as opposed to the normal musical cheesy catastrophes I HATE. As generally and unlike most here, I hated Prog music when it ceased to be freaky and Psychedelic and became IMHO ponderous, labored and boring in the early 70's as another hated style arrive; Glam Rock. I HATED KISS who we called SUCK and saw as a commercial tweeny insult to real hard Rock, them being utter crap cynical musicians. I was the first punk in my school of 600 in 1976 but left that after 1 1/2 years as that scene quickly became boring Clash clones as well. However New Wave (1978-1983 or so) was OUR 1960s, fresh and creative again and some had deeper roots in psychedelic and electronic music like Eno and Can. Bands like the Television, Devo and centrally the Talking Heads were the new Pink Floyd and their 1980 LP 'Remain in Light' was one of the greatest LP's ever, the best since since Dark Side of the Moon and way way better than the long turgid 'The Wall' that like most horribly overrated double LPs (few deserve the length; the few being The White Album (Beatles), Electric Lady land, Jesus Chris Superstar with Deep Purple and the Grateful Dead's first two Live LP's). All the others I know (so many it's almost infinite) are just mostly tedious and boring being stuffed with filler, showing off mediocrity with maybe four or so really good songs (see Tommy, The Floyd's other 2 doubles) With four sides this averages (1/5) around one great song per side on an old LP. Horrible! Never liked Yes, Genesis, or any of the other Prog bands, the guy who does this show likes, with a few trippy exceptions. Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Sabbath, the Allman Brothers, The Doors., Opeth and early Slayer until Lombardo leaves. There is so much other music in so many styles I would rather listen too. Electronic; Roison, Robyn, Depeche Mode, Country music like kd Lang, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash. Do I want complex quality music? Well then not Prog but Bach or Mozart or Jazz like Cab Calloway, Billie Holliday, Miles Davis or my favorite act of the 1970's Parliament Funkadelic which is also Good Pop (rare but exists, James Brown, Early Beatles, Motown, Simon and Garfunkle) or even the best rap like Bustah Rhymes, Nas, Snoop, Notorious BIG, Beastie Boys, Outkast or Dr Dre's productions??

Looking at the 60ties, you *definitly* have to mention "The Piper At the Gates of dawn", the 1967''s debut of Pink Floyd!! - the perhaps most influencal psychedelic rock album of all times (courtesy of guitar- and composer -Genius, Syd Barrett, who tragedically lost his mental sanity soon after, but became immortal to the Rock Society by the 1975 dedication "Shine On you crazy diamond"!). David Bowie once said, to the rock scene of these days it was equivalent to the Beatles "Sgt.Pepper" in its significance for the development of rock music and that without the Floyd's "Piper"-album he would never have had the idea to create "Ziggy Stardust".- How could you forget this strange, unusual, but fantastic album?- Oh, you're american.....okay, now I understand!!😉 - And, regarding metal, what's about Queensryche's debut album "The Warning"? - A really great first album - and probably the first one that's levelling the road to Prog metal! - And, at least, man...do yourself and your voice a favour...put a bottle of water nearby. Now and then a drink and your voice will stay "strong as rock'n roll" 😀! Greetings, Andy from Germany

Great video. If this was your first video, this would be the greatest debut video about the greatest debut albums.

Right on Sea of T! I learned a long time ago it's impossible to please all at a large random audience at a gig. That said, I dig your amateur rock/pop musicological knowledge!

I was enjoyably impressed watching your list, but when you pulled out Robin Trower - you done made a new friend down here in Taum Sauk, Missouri!

The Boston Debut album is the Most Epic Album ever. As you say Pete you can listen to it over and over and it never gets old. The man with the Golden voice Brad Delp at his very best.

Great job, Pete, but no mention of the landmark classic BRAND X - UNORTHODOX BEHAVIOR - A stunningly brilliant prog/fusion album which certainly qualifies as one of the most important debut recordings of all time. As with King Crimson, these visionaries were way ahead of their time, trailblazing uncharted territory with sophisticated and timeless compositions which, decades later, still sound fresh and relevant. Disappointed that this one didn't make your list of favorites, but fans of intense, virtuosic guitar and out-of-this-world fretless bass mastery, along with the superb drumming of Phil Collins will appreciate this music.

Yes, certainly a great one John, I just couldn't include all my favorites here. Fear not though, I will certainly be discussing Brand X on my Top Fusion Albums of the '70s show that is coming up soon!

A Very Nice Collection of Debuts, most of I Totally Agree on. I might add one of My Personal Fav's is Def Leppards On Through the Night as a MUST hear Album....Thanks Pete for Sharing with US!!

Great picks. Soft Machine's debut is a favorite of mine. Excellent album.

My favorite debut albums are A script for a Jesters Tear by Marillion and the self titled Mr. Bungle album

Marillion’s debut is at Number 1 on my list. It’s there best album by a huge margin.

That first Rush album has always been my favorite Rush album.

Just the other day I had the idea for such a list and drafted one. Then I stumbled across this video and compared notes, and yes, there are a number of matches. Note - I excluded some albums where already well established artists started new projects, like Bad Co, Dio, Ozzy, Rainbow or Ted Nugent (they did what they already had done before). I focused on band that changed the music world and also had an impact on my own tastes as well. Mine resulted in a Top 20 1. The Doors 2. Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced 3. Lynyrd Skynyrd - Pronounced 4. The Ramones 5. The Allman Brothers Band 6. The Clash 7. The Band - Music From Big Pink 8. King Crimson - In the Court 9. Gentle Giant 10. Steely Dan - Can't Buy a Thrill 11. Velvet Underground - The VU and Nico 12. Black Sabbath 13. Television - Marquee Moon 14. Emerson, Lake & Palmer (they were established musicians already but I still list them because their debut was far from anything they had done in their respective bands and really new ground) 15. Led Zeppelin - I 16. Santana 17. Chicago - Chicago Transit Authority 18. Wishbone Ash 19. Uriah Heep - Very 'eavy Very 'umble 20. Elvis Costello - My Aim is True

Thanks for the Leaf Hound tip. How did I miss these guys? I was sold about 15 seconds into the first song.

I agree, Free’s “Tons of Sobs”, probably my favourite by them. I would also include Family’s “Music in a Doll’s House” and Spirit’s self-titled, as fantastic debut albums.

Joe Jackson's "Look Sharp."

Great selections Pete. To name just a few : The Doors, Are You Experienced, Piper At The Gates of Dawn, Fresh Cream, Led Zeppelin I, Chicago Transit Authority, Freak Out!, ZZ Tops First Album, Black Sabbath, Velvet Underground and Nico, Pronounced Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Cars, Iron Maiden

Great reviews. Thanks. Point of interest is that “Days of Future Past” was the second Moody Blues album....following by 3 years the first Moody Blues album “Go Now.” Personnel was not the same with Denny Lane leading the first album, singing and guitar and piano. Denny had left by the recording of “Days of Future Past.”

To Me one of the all time stand-out yet hugely underrated and overlooked debuts has to be the 1968 debut by Spirit. Having bought "The Rock Machine Turns You On", one of the greatest sampler albums of all time, I was brought up short by the sheer brilliance of "Fresh Garbage" Consequently I felt impelled to check out the album, and was totally blown away by it! Brilliance in all aspects...songwriting, musicianship, tightness and vocal harmonising. If you haven't heard it yet, I seriously envy you!

Spirit is awesome, surprised they don't get more mention by Pete.

I put together my list after looking over quite a few of the others. I have added mostly selections that nobody used. here is my list in alphabetical order.Aldo Nova(82)Beck, Bogart, And Appice(73)Dada-Puzzle(92)Earthquake(79)Eric Johnson(90)Foghat(72)Gugan Power Trio(16)Heartsfield(73)Icehouse(80)Indigenous-Things We Do(98)J. Geils(70)Jay Ferguson-All Alone In The End Zone(76)Kenny Wayne Shepard-Ledbetter Heights(95)Kracker-La Familia(72)Lake(76)Les Dudek(76)Nils Lofgren(75)Outfield-Play Deep(85)Ronnie Montrose(Solo)-Open Fire(78)Roy Buchanan(72)SeaLevel(77)Tommy Bolin-Teaser(75)Wrabit-Wrought And Ready(81)These are ALL excellent debut albums, I enjoyed Pete's list, but was disappointed not to see these.

Great list! Bad Co, Ted Nugent, and Van Halen are three of my favorites. I would put Eagles and Garbage on my list. Thanks for the video.

Scottish band Gun's debut from 1989, Taking On The World was an excellent straight ahead rock album. They also did a great version of Lizzy's Don't Believe A Word which wasn't on the album but on a 12 inch single from the same period.

While I agree "Black Sabbath" was a game changer (blew my tender 18 year old mind), number one should have been "Are You Experienced".... IMHO, of course!

You are correct in my opinion... People LOVE to say that Zep was the band that opened the door for Metal... I would say Jimi's Experience was THE key that opened pandora's box of Metal.... I wont argue with Cream as a big component but Jimi brought the idea past the blues well before Sabbath did it.....

Rainbow was serious Proto Power Metal. Definitely *The Blueprint* to come for it in the 1980's.

Great video, Pete. I think it ought to be a rule that you have to actually watch the entire video before commenting! At least a dozen comments below had me shaking my head.

Blue Cheer was new to me. Could not find this album on Spotify, except from the single Summertime Blues. WOW - What a version. I'm gonna look for this CD. Thx.

The Doors. (maybe the most original band ever) That would be my vote. Free's Tons of Sobs! So glad this was mentioned. So interesting that they were like 17-18 yrs old on that debut.

Top to bottom the wild amount of different styles in every album shows their chops and influences from a wide variety of jazz mixed with classical mixed with Spanish/Latin flavors from country to rock /blues they just could play so many different styles in any given album shows how diverse and very unique they all were! So I totally agree and add to your statement!

Mott the Hoople, King Crimson, Steppenwolf, Vintage Violence (John Cale) 1970, Here Come the Warm Jets (Brian Eno) 1974, Smash Your Head Against The Wall (John Entwistle) 1971. If I'm throwing in a cheeky one I could say 'Mountain by Leslie West and Never Mind The Bollocks. Also, Rainbow's 'Self Portrait' is a phenomenally great track. Another solid debut.
