Re: (TV) Debut albums

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@mac.com>]

In addition to Marquee Moon, it's a tough choice.  I guess it depends 
on who you're talking about.  For a lot of us post-punkers, Mission 
of Burma's debut (and until a couple weeks ago, their only 
conceived-of-as-such studio LP) _vs._ was a revelation, and I 
realized just a couple days ago that my youthful listening to Burma 
informed both the edit-drenched IDM remixing I've been doing, and my 
weird, asynchronous, choppy rhythm guitar style.  (Though Arto 
Lindsay probably takes some of the blame for that, too.)

For Goths, I'd think Joy Division's _Unknown Pleasures_ (though I 
prefer _Still_).  Minor Threat's debut pretty much minted 
straightedge.  The Stooges, MC5, and VU debuts all seem to resonate 
through the culture even today for a lot of people.  So different 
subgenres are certainly going to have different answers.
