Your Favorite Heavy Metal Debut Album?

and how could i forget holy diver, alice in hell, focus, eternal nightmare and blizzard of ozz

Did anyone mention Believer's Extraction From Mortality? I can't stand this record, but I think on a board like this, most of you would list this as a classic as its held in very high regard by most thrash fans.

That wasn't their debut, it was just their first album that was any good.

Another one for me is Vain - No respect.

Not all these are metal but great debut nonetheless:

Montrose-S/T
Captain Beyond-S/T
The Cars-S/T
Ultra-S/T
Point Blank-S/T
SRV-Texas Flood
Megadeth-Killing Is My Business...And Busines Is Good!
Anthrax-Fistful Of Metal
Kiss-S/T
Black Sabbath-S/T
Aldo Nova-S/T
Danzig-S/T
Ramones-S/T
Boston-S/T
Sir Lord Baltimore-Kingdom Come
Queensryche-E.P.
Molly Hatchet-S/T
Iron Maiden-S/T
The Police-S/T

I guess I can now add this one:

Black Sabbath-s/t

Savatage - Sirens

Metal Church - s/t

AIC - Facelift

Holy Diver

Motley Crue-Too Fast for Love

Yes, I thought of this one after I posted and forgot to mention it on an edit.

Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
Pagan Altar - Volume One (although technically it's a demo.... oh well)
Dark Quarterer - s/t
Iron Maiden - s/t
Praying Mantis - Time Tells No Lies
Running Wild - Gates To Purgatory
Mercyful Fate - Melissa
Manowar - Battle Hymns
Trouble - Psalm 9
Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness
Solstice - Lamentations
Sabbat (Japan) - Envenom
Blasphemy - Fallen Angel Of Doom...

This is becoming more of an all time faves list though, haha. I think most of my favorite bands peaked with their first album.
