I assume you're counting All Things Must Pass as Harrison's first "real" album? Might have to throw Lennon's Plastic Ono Band in there too.

Yep.

Was never a big fan of Lennon's solo work.

Has anyone mentioned Boys Don't Cry by The Cure yet? Horrible album art but definitely a fantastic debut.

Everyone who's read one or more music magazines know that Led Zeppelin, Patti Smith, Television, Joy Division, The Velvet Underground, Elvis Costello etc etc had great debuts because they are mentioned quite often. I don't need to know if they were good - I'd rather know what it is you think makes them good.

Janszoon, The Cure's debut album is called "Three Imaginary Boys". The album "Boys Don't Cry" is a US rerelease of that album with a slightly different song lineup and coverart.

Holy nitpick Batman. None of that really changes what I said. Either one counts as a great debut album with crappy cover art.
