A band’s first album is their best album.

There are a few perfect examples and notable exceptions to this rule I suppose. I’ll use a combanation of my favourite bands and bands that have been in the charts recently.

  • Rage Against the Machine: Rage Against the Machine
  • Tool: (IMO) Laterus
  • Artic Monkeys: Whatever people say I am that’s what I’m not
  • Oasis: Definately Maybe
  • ACDC: Back in black
  • Megadeth: well it’s NOT Killing is my Busniess, I can’t descide between the rest
  • Metallica: Master Of Puppets
  • Coldplay: Parachutes
  • Kasabian: Kasabian
  • Green Day: Dookie
  • Placebo: Placebo
  • U2: It’s all shit

That didn’t settle anything really, I wonder if a local university would commision research into the study of first albums……

It’d like baking an apple pie and then sealing it in a glass box so that you can only look at the pie without sampling its sugary goodness (Mmmmmm Pie). I suppose I can’t whinge too much as I did get to see them at Reading Festival 2000.
