After all, especially during the 20th century, providing an eponymous album meant your name was likely to be shared twice on radio or television. It may have helped many bands get off the ground and could very well be why most of the albums listed here used the self-titled LP opportunity to announce their place on the world stage and share the record as a reflection of their journey thus far.
OasisBe Here Now Full Album Zip
The debut album from Zach de la Rocha, Tom Morello and crew saw the rap-rock of the LA outfit reinvigorate an entire generation. Grunge had seen Gen X get angry yet apathetic, meanwhile, RATM promoted affirmative action wherever they could, their debut record was simply an extension of their ethos.
Easily regarded as one of the most potent and punchy debut albums of all time, The Stooges were stuck together with spit and superglue when they arrived to record their first LP. They had barely five songs between them and, while Elektra was excited by their new signees, they still needed a full album. Enter John Cale.
14 tracks of fearsome and potent moments of wasted youth and untethered revolution make The Clash quite possibly the best record the genre ever produced. Certainly the purest. The album is split between a desperate need to highlight the plight of working-class youth and an unwillingness to accept the role as their lot.
An album made by a bunch of young hopefuls with nothing to lose is the usual tale for a debut punk record but there was something altogether more authentic about this LP which let you know that The Clash were, without doubt, the only band that mattered.
