Re: Top 10 Debut Albums
How the fuck can you define it anyway, its all a matter of taste.
In my opinion Muse are dreadful, and Bloc Party are just yet another indie band that will be forgotten in a couple of years.

Re: Top 10 Debut Albums
Although most of the band had worked together before, so it was just a debut under the name of King Crimson. And considering the amount of lineup changes they went through, they put out four or five albums that were essentially debuts for entirely new bands with the same name.

Cat Spectacular - Bearsuit
Grace - Buckley
Deloused - Mars Volta
Up The Bracket - Libertines
Lost Riots - Hope Of The States
