The first Prince album is underrated if anything.

Yeah listening now this is fantastic r&b

Title track opens the album a lot like "Our Prayer/Gee" does Smile by the Beach Boys, like the doo wop/gospel version

Judas Priest.

arguably : M. Jackson - from Got To Be There to OFW/Thriller.
GTBT is good though so again, it's not so much about the debut being crap but about it being far from the following peak.

I guess there's a few examples of artists on Motown coming into their own when they've been allowed to express themselves creatively.

one month passes...

Does anyone stan for Springsteen's debut? I adore the man, hate that debut album, though.

Carly Rae Jepsen

xpost yep hi I love the debut

spirit of the night, blinded by the light, lost in the flood, hard to be a saint in the city... besides the highlight tracks, just the general folky Bruce, yknow, the Van Morrison/Bob Dylan idol worship & megawordy young & antsy vibe is really enjoyable for me

i'll stan for it forever

Same. Lots of good to be found on the first Springsteen album.

three weeks pass...

^yeah, figured I was in the minority about The Boss. I much prefer his economy-of-words approach to his latter-day lyric writing.

Simple Minds (before becoming crap again)

Chairlift, who went crap again

I love the Latin Van Morrison feel of Greetings From Astbury Park. & the amount of words adds to the cadence.

a lot of people (not necessarily me) would classify Lana Del Rey here
