Re: New UNCUT - The 100 Greatest Debut Albums

Terrific list. Very inspiring read.

While you can always list a few of your personal disregarded favourites (Guadalcanal Diary "Walking in the Shadow of the Big Man"), the only glaring omission I can think of is the first Tindersticks album. If solo debuts by former band members count, a case could also be made out for John Cale's "Vintage Violence". And though it may not have aged terribly well, not many years ago Big Country's "The Crossing" would have been an obvious candidate, I think.

But much as I love Dylan, his status sure as hell doesn't rest on his debut! Really ...

Re: New UNCUT - The 100 Greatest Debut Albums

They don't include solo debuts it seems. Otherwise, they would have put Transformer in there somewhere.

Or, they might have, if TRANSFORMER had in fact been Lou Reed's first solo album, which it wasn't.

Re: New UNCUT - The 100 Greatest Debut Albums

Leaving out "Dummy", "Blue Lines" and "In the Court of the Crimson King" is simply criminal. Especially when you mediocre albums like Bob Dylan's and The Beatles' first outings.

Re: New UNCUT - The 100 Greatest Debut Albums

"In the Court ..." is King Crimson's DEBUT? Just shows off my ignorance, I know, but I always assumed they must have had quite a few warm-up attempts under their belt before doing that. Where did I put my copy, by the way ... ?

I feel like DJ Shadow's Endtroducing should be in the top 10, but its not even on the list, is it?
