Yes they did and why I said not in "most" of their early stuff. The Nouvelle Vague covers of Clash stuff is so different, so interesting and so good. They turned Guns of Brixton 180 degrees in vibe.

hmmm some great covers around but not feeling that one

Best debut albums of all time include The Clash and Led Zeppelin. They are probably the top two. Notable mentions to Arctics (who I went cold on real quick thereafter), The View and most recently Fontaines. 

You've been good since you came back but disagree on the Arctics and F DC. 
 

is there a best debut album thread? I expect there will be! 
 

id certainly agree re self titled clash though. Cover to cover, bloody great.

In my opinion this is infinitely superior to the live version you posted: -

 

gave it a go , it has a little je ne sais quoi but na min not even close to the original fury

Did Joe write the bass part for that song?  I know he played it live ( for obvious reasons)

Simonon's song i believe

I'm not comparing it to the original album version. I compared it to the live version you posted and I prefer the slow extraction of the essence of the music and the art within the lyrics to that particular clumsy confused are-we-meant-to-act-punklike-to-this-audience non-musical rendition. 

fair enough , i wouldn't listen to it twice . Not a put down

Unclear thinking for a couple of reasons. You're not my judge and the fact I gave a notable mention to three debut albums that I like isn't an area to disagree on. Taste is not like facts. We like or dislike to various degrees and a hundred people will have a hundred different outlooks. 

I think in your absence you may have missed my rise to prominent musical guru of the board. So whilst yes, musical opinion is that of the beholder, I have the final say on what constitutes a good album. I'm not judging you as a person, I'm just telling you your opinion on this matter is wrong.

Staggering example of the power and musicality of one man right here. The intelligence, originality and fuck you attitude burns bright.

 

I've shown that piece of writing to so many people. At all times of day or night. JUST LOOK AT THIS. I don't get invited back to much parties anymore.

Listening to London Calling right now. What time is it? 

[styrofoamplates]

The answer is Appetite For Destruction

[Simply Red]

Fairly common for a bands debut  to be their best.

off the top of my head: 

Stone Roses/Pistols (only 1 album released)/Inspiral Carpets

@styrofoamplates

was livin on a prayer on appetite for destruction? If so i agree thats the best debut album ever.

These lyrics - and that is my favourite Dylan of all of them - remind me of the Doug Stanhope thing I posted last night and what I was telling dayts about earlier;

To keep it in your mind and not fergit
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to

great wordsmith

Not everyone will be old enough but Led Zeppelin I was a phenomenal debut album, one of the best first albums of all time and yet in my opinion was not their best. If put on the spot I couldn't give a definite opinion of what was their best and whilst I don't agree with the many who say IV was their best, I would probably take Physical Graffiti or perhaps the underrated Presence with me to the desert island ? 

Communication breakdown and particularly Babe I'm gonna leave you were fresh and new music 51 years ago when it came out. 

Another great band i didn't appreciate until later in life. The ipod and sharing music was a revelation to me

See another thing @Poodler , that record shop /cafe isn't very inviting from the outside. Unless youre looking for it then you barely know it's there. Has to have better kerb appeal. 

 You raise a good point Hanzoid

 

he did have a big sign outside. Council said the overhang was too much, now not allowed anything. 
 

used to have wooden boards on union street and in that open space beside M&S directing people to it. Council said they weren't allowed.

incredibly difficult to be an independent business with those disgusting pigs in the council raising your fees to pay for that unused office space on broad street
