Can't argue with punk. Awesome first albums for a lot of them.

The Sex Pistols - Never mind the bollocks, here's the Sex Pistols
Generation X - Generation X

as well as excellent debuts from bands related to the Canterbury scene:

Gong - Camembert Electrique
The Soft Machine - The Soft Machine
Camel - Camel

and even mainstream psychedelic from that kind of era:

The Move - The Move
Traffic - Mr. Fantasy

then long after the Canterbury scene itself had dissolved into a haze of acid and pot smoke, the survivors of that family tree went on to record:

Motorhead: Motorhead
Inner City Unit: Pass Out
Here & Now: Give and Take

and into more modern:

Atomship - The Crash of '47
Vienna Teng - Waking Hour


There's actually lot of good first albums. The trick is making a good second one to follow a good first. Can't fault Led Zep on that.

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

One of those bands where they stick their heads in the door, demonstrate how brilliant they are, and never do anything useful again.
