I guess I would go for The Smiths s/t album and the Cure Three Imaginary Boys/ Boys Don't Cry. Those bands were the ones which hooked me to new wave.

Specials would tie with Gang Of Four

I chose Unknown pleasures... simple reason, I listened to it yesterday after a long time of not listening to it and I was amazed by the quality of the whole album.
No Outlandos D'Amour option?? I think that is possibly the greatest debut album ever. [:D]

Actually I voted also for Joy Division coz the other bands except for Gang of Four are definitely not my cup of green tea![:D]

While I was tempted to vote for all of them-they're all excellent albums (or at least very good-I guess I can't say that Oingo Boingo's debut is one of the best of the best and I really think of Joy Divison as more of a singles band in that I think most of their definitive statements were made in singles before their debut came up).

I had to go with the Ramones-look what it started.

Sorry, my vote goes to Tears For Fears-The Hurting

I'd also throw in Thompson Twins "Quick Step & Side Kick", their first album as a trio. Not a bad song in the bunch on that album.

Pretenders. Their debut album is solid all the way through and still highly listenable today. At the time it was fresh and sassy, but with its tender moments, too. But after their debut they went downhill and lost their edge, churning out boring radio hits.

Duran Duran - Duran Duran

thats my pick! [8D]

by **KYYX4ever** » Sat Aug 19, 2006 2:46 am

Lots of great choices there,

but ultimately I pick Duran Duran by Duran Duran
and
The Hurting by Tears For Fears
and
Psychedelic Furs' debut was no slouch either !

I would've voted for the debut of Violent Femmes myself...

Guess which album got my actual vote, tho'...[8D]

by **tileboy** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 12:27 pm

I voted for the Pretenders,but i'm another who would've voted for The Cars,

by **whistledog** » Sun Aug 20, 2006 4:09 pm

From the list, I picked "The Pretenders", but my all-time favourite would have to be "Stand Back" by The Arrows. I just love it [8D]

There are many great ones on the list but I agree with Firefall on Televisions Marquee Moon.That would get my vote.
