New Wave’s Greatest Debut Albums

Postby oldwaver2 » Tue Feb 01, 2022 7:57 pm

I like this list. This is so spot on.


There are several different “All-Time Greatest” lists in music.
In rock music there is a “Greatest Debut Albums” list.
With Rock music it seems like it takes many artists a
few attempts to put together a decent album.

I’ve noticed in New Wave a considerable amount of artist’s
strongest and best album is their debut release.
Think about the impact these albums made as a debut and
how these are still the Artist’s best recording.
