Ouch, am I that bad?


I think on this one i may have popped my head above the parapet before in support of that album, but otta is absolutely right in his assertion.


Back on track, Help She Can't Swim had a cracking debut a good follow up and then grew up and got jobs or something. Very disappointing. I guess it probably turned out that five or six musos buying their album wasn't going to pay for their dinner :(

okay - as populist as they come yet it was their 3rd album that was the first to really make it and their first to make the UK top 20....


ABBA - ABBA


*only mention them because they were just swedeing their way through Dancing Queen on 'TOTP 1976' on BBC3 - honest!*

I like most of Coldplay's stuff so am not going to shoot you down in flames, and parachutes was a great debut - still love "Yellow"


As for what I would add to the list of great debut albums


Definitely Maybe by Oasis - ok, I know they could be right idiots, but hard to deny the impact they had at the time. Still got a special place in my heart because it reminds me of some happy times.


19 by Adele - I know her second album has somewhat eclipsed this, but I think it was still a fine debut and she's got a lovely voice.


I'd agree with the people who mentioned the Killers first album - seen them live a couple of times and they are so good, and Mr Brightside was a total classic.


My most loved debut album is Expecting to Fly by the Bluetones. They are only just splitting up now and haven't really topped it in the 15 or so years since its release, but I've had many happy trips to gigs to see them and made new friends through doing so, so the album brings up lots of good memories.


As for great third albums - how about Paul Weller's third solo album "Stanley Road"? (and yes, I do know it's not the third album he was involved in - am old enough to remember both Jam and Style Council!)

Best of the Beatles? How can that have been a debut album?!


Please Please Me wasn't it??

Interesting to see signs of the oncoming punk explosion with Eddie and The Hot Rods performance...they played the Marquee in Summer '76 with support act.......The Sex Pistols

Point taken, it would be interesting to know the age posters were when the albums they have nominated were released...I reckon 14-24 would be a common catchment age

OK this has now got complicated: Was going to have Ash's "1977" as a great debut - but there was apparently one before it. So I was then going to have Ash's "Free All Angels" as a brilliant third album. but because of that obscure first, that makes "Free.." a fourth album. Doh

This thread has lost the plot. And have you ever wondered how you get triangles from a cow.


Looked at my modern music to find that most of it is latter albumns, because my finger is no longer on the pulse.


But two more - Billy Bragg, Life's a Riot with Spy vs Spy and


Wait for it


Air Moon Safari


Oh and if you are going to talk about the Cure, which is so dated (both the early 80s stuff and curent stuff)


Siouxie and the Banshees, The Scream

Debuts:

The Ramones - The Ramones

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

The Who - My Generation


Defining third Albums:

Blondie - Parallel Lines

Bon Jovi - Slippery When Wet (I know, I know...)

Elvis Costello - Armed Forces (debatable)

(I'd also echo the earlier mention of Manic Street Preachers' Holy Bible, which leaves all their other releases for dust).

3 life changing debuts;


Spacemen 3 - Sound of Confusion


The Doors - The Doors


Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced



3rds


Prince - Dirty Mind


White Stripes - White Blood Cells


Bongwater - The Power of Pussy


Dinosaur Jr - Bug



6ths


Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation


The Kinks - The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society


Super Furry Animals - Lovekraft


Can anybody do 9ths?

    • Hi, The seller has already been restricted from making posts on the forum (including in the For Sale board) straight after you initially reported this. They do however still have access to their private messages so that they can contact you. If its clear that they have no intention of resolving then they will be permanently banned.   I would recommend making contact with the company as you will require evidence that the item is stolen if you plan to report this to the police. If so there is useful information on the Citizen's Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-you-think-youve-bought-stolen-goods
    • That's like the cartoon of the person who goes to IKEA for tea lights, comes out laden with stuff and says "Damn, I forgot the tea lights"  😂 
    • Have you tried contacting the company the laptop belongs to? I expect they would be interested.....
    • Last week I bought a Galaxy Chromebook Go on this forum, the seller was not home when I went to pick it up, I texted him and he found an excuse apologized and said he could deliver,  I accepted and later that evening he delivered the item in the original box ... all seemed ok until my son (it was supposed to be a present for him) opened it and tried to log in his google account, to our surprise it stated that the laptop was property of a company and could not be used without authorization. We tried to contact the seller, and he initially provided some excuses, but after his initial responses, he stopped replying to our messages. I informed EDForum but no action has been taken as the seller is still present on the forum... I am very disappointed
