Run The Jewels (2013)
Hip hop isn't normally my thing, but for some reason I find these guys a great listen. Second album even better.

The Jezabels - Prisoner
I'd forgotten how good this debut from Aussie band The Jezabels is. Their early EPs from 09/10 are great as well.

First time hearing this. Hard to pigeon-hole, but I think I actually quite like it.

It's a really good debut, dark and cinematic. She's a great guitarist too.

Loved this one and saw him live at the time. Feels a bit of a cheat 'debut' though.

Microdisney - Everybody is fantastic
This is a fairly new to me band, and I had only heard their second album before this challenge. Really enjoying this debut I have to say.

I only have about 8 or 9 on my shortlist so far, so I'm looking for more suggestions. It's not my era, but there are some fantastic ones I do know, including this from The Blue Nile.

The final debut on my shortlist. Now some tough decisions ahead! This was blasting out of a few speakers in 2004, and I think it holds up well.

I really liked this. It's been some time since it's been played, which is clearly a mistake. There's some great music on this and their follow up.

Contains some strong singles but tails off in the latter part of the album for me. There's definitely some good stuff here, though.

Kings of Leon - Youth & Young Manhood
The sticker on the front of my cd cover proclaims it to be the best debut of the last 10 years. I do remember quite a bit of hype at the time. It's got some corkers but not a standout for me.

The Vines - Highly Evolved
The next big thing of 2002. It's more diverse than I remember it. It's got the rockier, grungier elements, but there's also a fair amount of melodic 60s influenced pop. Enjoyed it.
Favourite songs - Country Yard, Homesick, Outtathaway.
