Favourite debut album

Not too sure what that has to do with it being a good debut album but mkay...

Anyways, I've done some mulling around for some of my own. I came up with:

Massive Attack - Blue Lines

Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy

The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

It's hard to pick which is my favorite...

I really wish he'd carried on doing this type of stuff.

Plus, I'm convinced that many of the original Gothics would possibly point to that album, or at least Nico's second album The Marble Index, as works that helped built the roads for the original movement.

It would have been released in 1966 if there wasn't so much opposition from the record companies (irrelevant point to make, I know, but just felt like pointing that out).

But yea, I'll go ahead and say The Velvet Underground & Nico as well as Watashi Dake by Keiji Haino. No single album has ever impacted my taste in music like VU's debut, and Haino's debut is well... just read this.

You need to get a clue, you admit her drumming fits the songs but then lament that she isn't playing them differently. Their entire sound is based on turning simple parts into something greater so just because she doesn't play 10000 notes a minute or take every chance to throw in fills doesn't make her a bad drummer. She plays to the song, and a more flashy style would ruin the vibe of their sound and make it pretty much something different entirely. Don't get me wrong she doesn't belong on any "Greatest Drummer" lists but she's nowhere near being "pathetic"

I don't think Meg White is a good drummer at all (although she may have improved since I checked them out), but they make it work. I think it's cool and a little daring and shows how a little drumming skills can go a long way.

^^her sloppiness fits Jack's songs perfectly

Red House Painters - Down Colourful Hill.

This would easily make my top 10 debuts. One of my favourite 'slowcore' albums for sure; the music and lyrics both manage to grab you by the balls, no matter how many times you've listened to it before.

Jack is the genius behind the music she's just lucky to be a part of it all.
Any average drummer could've took her place...

one of the best debuts of all times, and one of my faves by him:-

Jack said himself that Meg is the best drummer he could ever play with. Make what you want out of that but The White Stripes wouldn't have sounded like The White Stripes without her.
