The debut album is alsways an interesting way of looking at a band, sometimes they are seasoned and get signed after they have found their sound (Moving Units, New Order), other times they are an instant phenomenon and fade into obscurity (Jesus and Mary Chain), and further still some bands fall into the ever-lovable "Their old stuff is better" category (Mission of Burma, Wire). Here is a list of artists who came out of the gate swinging between 1970 and 2009...some are forgotten by time and others can be dug up and still sound timeless...this is also mostly why I am the way I am.
