Funny, as I was about to add:

The Big Pink - A Brief History of Love.

Face it, in the late 40s not many record producers wanted to take a chance on issuing a full album of music by some crazy dude named Thelonious Monk...

The test of time is not always cruel.

In the late 40s (and the entire 50s), not many producers or labels wanted to release albums by black artists. Those that dared were real heroes.

And that is part of the reason for the proliferation of black owned and operated record labels like King and Motown in the late 50s and early 60s. Tech got more affordable, studios could be established in places where the big labels wouldn't, the talent was already there...

I have these (not always the whole CD, in some cases just a few songs from the CD) in my music collection... and therefore they are the best.

Hahahha, well, isn't that how everyone thinks of their music collection? If you don't think that they are the best and still are the best then what are they still doing being in your music collection? Sell them or donate them otherwise?

On second thought, I guess "keep them" is also an option just in case later on you tend to regret not keeping anything you got rid of.

Or or or... just listen to them on YouTube, taking for granted that the songs and even YouTube itself will always be there.

I am amazed at how boringly mainstream everyone's taste is. There is almost nothing here that's properly alternative, which makes me wonder if that's down to how difficult it is to find anything non-mainstream these days.

Yet I couldn't name one of those albums and I imagine few of them were as successful as later releases. It seems more slick you are listing your favourite artists (all of which turn my stomach in varying degrees).

A few of them are favorites; not all - the list is more of an awareness of what was popular for a time (I've been a musician for decades; so I suppose that was part of the job

) - zero stomach-turning here, btw.

As far as naming: Some debut albums are simply self-titled (Boston: Boston is a great example - as was mentioned in this thread) besides: I'm lazy, so I wasn't going to list them out - they're easy enough to find.
