In rock and roll, the road to get noticed and signed can be a long ride. More times than not, a band’s first album is fairly forgettable. In some cases, however, there are bands that have incredible success with their debut album; here are the memorable 1st LPs that we believe recognition…

‘Foreigner’ – Foreigner
‘The Doors’ – Doors
‘Ten’ – Pearl Jam
‘Bad Company’ – Bad Company
‘Van Halen’ – Van Halen
‘Are You Experienced?’ – Jimi Hendrix Experience
‘Led Zeppelin’ – Led Zeppelin
‘Mr. Tambourine Man’ – Byrds
‘Boston’ – Boston
‘Black Sabbath’ – Black Sabbath

Observations: This class of debut albums could all go in the ‘Debut Hall of Fame.’ Chicago’s first album was a double album debut; unheard of at the time, while both Foreigner and Bad Company had a total of five number one song’s from the two LPs.
