Let's go back in time. In the 60's, a revolution took place in the music stage, taking it to another level. An heavy level. Iggy Pop and a bunch of other crazy dope aliens had already sent a serious message, but the real pioneers, were yet to come. This newcomers, were about to change things again... Ya'll know who they are so let's cut to the chase.

These are all pre-1975 albums. They belong to bands that, in a way or another, helped the heavy metal growth in mid-70's.
I want to know which one of them makes the best debut overall. Which one made its band start its career off the best? Which one contributed the most to the evolution of heavy metal from hard-rock?
I choose the Led Zeppelin's one, not only for personal reasons, but also for Plant's vocal skills, the guitar riffs, and that instrumental drum track... I find it a fun record, and i really think that music was ahead of its time. IMO it's their best record, and the big responsible for hard-rock/heavy metal launch, side by side with black sabbath's two first ones. If i had to choose a 2nd one from the list, i'd go for the Judas Priest debut. I just love the mixing of blues, rock and hard-rock they did there. An highly underrated record from Priest's hard-rock era.

Man a tough one, I'd have to go with BOC. Cities on Flame would have to be one of my favorite songs.

In terms of effect on metal, i'd have to go with Sabbath. also in terms of which one i enjoy most... Black Sabbath. set the tone for harsher music to come with its oppressive, sinister doomy quality.

Black Sabbath for me. I bought it on a rainy Friday, Still remember coming home and listening to it with headphones and having my world completely turned upside down by the very first song. Memories.

Wow, good poll! And a tough one too. I can't choose for now. Led Zeppelin's debut album is one of my favourite albums, not to mention Scorpions' underrrated debut album. Alice Cooper's debut albums is quite interesting. Nice to see UFO in your list, that's a good one.
I can't vote, too many goodies there.

Imo, one of the best debut album for a band would be Slayer - Show No Mercy.

I wasn't sure what angle to come at on this one from...

...If it was 'best debut album' in regards to said albums influence on metal and its sub-genres, I would have voted Black Sabbath.

I however voted Led Zeppelin because, as an album, I much prefer their debut to Sabbath's. Plain and simple.

Oh sorry, I didn't read the 60's part.

Then Black Sabbath gets my vote.

I haven't heard any aside from Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. Well, I don't like the LZ debut, and the Sabbath is awesome, so Sabbath all the way.

Of ones I enjoy more personally... Led Zeppelin, i like how much variety it has.

Of ones more objectively influential on metal... Black Sabbath, set the standard for harder rock music.

Have to go with BOC here, Then Came the Last Days of May is one of my favorite pre-metal songs. Truly one of the more underrated classic rock bands (seem like their only known for a couple singles and nothing else).

Interestingly, BOC seems to be the only band that doesn't have a consensus better album released later in their career (although I might listen to an argument for Agents of Fortune).
