Hmmmmm....hrmmmmmm...

Nobody's mentioned the Beatles' "Please Please Me" or Nirvana's "Nevermind"?

Uneducated heathens.

My criteria involves a combination of album sales and overall influence on the musical landscape at time of release, as well as how the record stands up over time.

Look at the record charts 3 months before these records were released and look at them again 3 months after they were released. Look at what was playing on the radio six weeks before these records were released and six weeks after.

That is the mark of a great debut.

I'd also toss "Appetite for Distruction" and "Licensed to Ill" on there, as previously suggested. They are debut records that stand up well with age.
