If you are talking pop and rock:

Fiona Apple "Tidal"
The Cars
The Clash
Elvis Costello "My Aim Is True"
Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures"
The Doors
Jimi Hendrix "Are You Experienced?"
Led Zeppelin
Moby Grape
Nirvana "Bleach"
Elvis Presley
REM "Chronic Town"
Rockpile "Seconds of Pleasure"
Velvet Underground
X "Los Angeles"

That's a killer list, doc. The two that influenced me the most...

Is Tubular Bells the greatest debut album ever?
Lord knows this is all subjective, but it wouldn't even make my top 50. I've never owned it or wanted to.

I'm not sure if it's the best debut album ever either, but I posed the question as it has sold so many copies and everything he did after that never came close to reaching his debut effort. That's not say his later albums were/are dogs, because they certainly aren't.
