The Stones 1st for sure. We even get to hear Brian singing.

Apparently not possible, going by what some others are saying. Pick another...

No way

I guess people don't know they had other albums. To list this is beyond strange.

It is not even their best pre -Aftermath albums, which consisted of mostly songs not written by the band.And almost everyone would agree none of those are a top7 album.

Well, I do happen to think it’s the Stones’ finest pre-Aftermath album. It should also be noted that albums were viewed and approached quite differently in 1964. They were merely considered to be a collection of songs; not an artistic statement. The industry changed with the releases of Rubber Soul and Pet Sounds, amongst others, like Dylan’s Bringing it All Back Home, and Highway Revisited.

The album is almost all blues and r&b covers.Most are not even as good as the originals.Comparing this to Banquet or Exile is ridiculous

Well, it’s incomparable to those you’ve mentioned. Of it’s largely chocked full of blues and R&B covers; it was their stage repertoire, after all. The debut by the likes of The Animals are pretty similar, too. Bob Dylan’s debut is full of folk covers. It how things were in the early-to-mid 60’s. I find these early albums incredibly hard to compare and rank against anything released from 1966 onwards.

. I repeat: The Stones 1st album.. Part of a “genre revolution,” even when I was introduced to it years after it’s release it was this pureness that caught me and it has been difficult to replicate that initial feeling.. Because of The Stones & Andrew’s riding the crest of their zeitgeist they were able to blossom into the Greatest Rock n’ Roll band of all time, exploring and developing potential and pushing rock n’ roll into the “frosting on the cake” with albums like Sticky Fingers, Beggar’s Banquet, Let It Bleed, Exile on Main Street. But the cake is their first album.

Remember, this is an opinion.. You’re not wrong for yours, and you’ll not convince me I’m “off” with mine

Snoopy2 I like the way you defend that first record. My favorite record is Sticky Fingers but I dig the "R&B playing in the clubs" period too. There is an energy,and a joy in these very early recordings that I do like a lot. Youth is beautiful and is part of the Rock and roll dna.

The very first Roxy Music. Keep going back to that one.

As had been said, "In The Court of The Crimson King" by King Crimson. Then the first Doors album is a great debut. Some would say it`s also their best album.

Van Halen 1. Honeydrippers Vol. 1. 40 years later I'm still waiting for Volume 2!

For me, there's no record I like from Lenny Kravitz than Let Love Rule.
I haven't even thought about this record in a while but now I'm going to have to dig it out.

Skynyrd , "Pronounced ..."

A lot folks would have Second Helping as their best , but for me the first was the very best.

1984 is at the same level as VH1

Blind Faith (1969). Definitely their best album!

Roxy Music
The Clash
The Only Ones
Ramones
Patti Smith - Horses
Blue Oyster Cult
Television
The Velvet Underground And Nico
Pink Floyd - ha, I'm sue I'll get lots of flack for this one!
The Doors

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (1976)

I almost included Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Elite album.

The first Blind Melon album is so damn good. No Rain was overplayed and led many to think they were a one hit wonder, but that first album is very nice (Soup, their second, is also great).

The Cult – Dreamtime

A fantastic album.

Stevie Ray Vaughan's TEXAS FLOOD. Purely blew my mind's (and not just mine)then, and still does. A groundbreaking album for that decade in terms of music and sounds. A statement. He made good records afterwards, but I don't even close to that unique brilliance.

Now to think of that: Jimi's ARE YOU EXPERIENCED, similarly groundbreaking album, almost makes this list had Jimi not made that mindblowing albums later. But honestly I think his debut fares very well against all the rest. Full of fantastic songs.
