James. Posted 11 July 2007 Share Posted 11 July 2007 Probably been done before but f**k it I'm ill, I'm bored and I wanted to start a thread. What debut albums do you own that you love, have had most impact on your taste in music (possibly opening you up to new genres, etc) and/or you believe have most influenced the music world and beyond. Here's some from me off the top of my head: DJ Shadow - Endtroducing Portishead - Dummy Goldie - Timeless Roni Size - New Forms Massive Attack - Blue Lines Super.

Here's some from me off the top of my head: DJ Shadow - Entroducing Portishead - Dummy Goldie - Timeless Roni Size - New Forms Massive Attack - Blue Lines Super. Yes to those. Blue Lines was a huge album for me. This list could be endless. I usually prefer dedut albums as more than usually the band have been together for a while before they get to record an album and have time to develop their sings. Other albums are:- Clash - Clash Sex Pistols - Sex Pistols Queens of the Stoneage - QOTSA Wheat - Mederios Wedding Present - George Best Stone Roses - Stone Roses Anastasia Screamed - Laughing Down The Limehouse Pop Will Eat Itself - Box Frenzy Tricky - Maxinque Daft Punk (cant be arsed with album names now) Kings Of Leon Strokes TV On The Radio Willy Mason Rival Schools Smashing Pumpkins The Killers Chemical Brothers Pogues Cooper Temple Clause PJ Harvey Air M Beat Guy Called Gerald The list could go on and on having been into music so much for so long.

Surely you can narrow that down a bit though? Maybe not... I always thought Pre Millenium Tension came before Maxinquaye but just checked and you're spot on. Colossal debut from Tricky, that one.

James. Posted 11 July 2007 Author Share Posted 11 July 2007 It's good to see Portishead - Dummy getting the recognition it deserves. An impossible decision but whenever I'm asked the "favourite ever album" question it's this one that comes to mind first. If you like the Portishead sound it's worth your while checking out Lamb (try Fear of Fours, their second album and probably the best). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First sign of life for 10 years. :worship: :worship: Yeah man, heard that too. Playing something called Nightmare Before Christmas on Dec 7th http://www.atpfestival.com/events/portishead/line_up.php I'd go for portishead and aphex twin alone but the tickets are f***ing expensive cos it's like a whole weekend or summat that it's on for P.s. along with all the class albums mentioned so far I'd have to add August and Everything After by Counting Crows and Core by Stone Temple Pilots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
