Probably the best debut ever recorded by any band is probably Moby Grapes - one never tires of hearing that, and I've been listening to it since having it on vinyl and playing it on a rubbish phonograph in the late 80s for the first time
you got the Beatles 1st album, which is a wonderful mix of originals and covers (Twist and shout)
the first Pink Floyd album is good, particularly in mono,
but I think the songs on the 1st Moby Grape album are stronger;they never really topped it
The Band, the Kinks (well, maybe not the Kinks) and Dylan all released very good debut albums, but Moby Grape probably had the strongest collection of songs
Hey Grandma - great opener
Mr Blues - okay! - great harmony vocals backing up Mosley though!
Fall on you - great great track. Do you see a pattern here?
805 - Beautiful ballad. What more to say? lovely. just lovely
Come in the morning - Terrific. Great vocals on the fade. Terrific, absolutely terrific
Omaha - Why not Listen my friends? only Skips analyst knows for sure. Gets really exciting - Skip's standout
Naked if I want to - only a minute long. But - hey! its fun, and its a good track. The Residents did a whole album of minute songs (the Commercial Album) but none of them were as good as this
Someday - pretty heartbreaking. Skip gets a cowrite. Amazing track. Terrific fade/vocals on the fade. Absolutely heartbreaking there as well
Ain't no use - fun track. Terrific backing vocals. Terrific lead vocals as well. Really strong track. Like all of the songs on this side (2) actually
Sitting by my window - Later cut by Peter Lewis on a solo track. Probably still does the track live. Has to. Its absolutely lovely. Great guitar, vocals. Played live on tv with the image gone purple
Changes - another rocker. Lot of fun. Great scat singing on the fade. Good song. Ho hum - another really good song on this album of really good songs!
Lazy Me - Best song on the album? Nice use of Frere Jaques on the fade! Songs only a minute and a half and its absolutely amazing. Christ. Theres no weak link on either side
Indifference - Terrific side closer. What a beautiful day it has been! Yes indeed.
God what a terrific album. "Mr Blues" is probably the "weakest" song, and even thats great cos of the backing harmonies. Wheres that old Mr Blues man?

I believe Winwood is in the Mystery crowd.
Get Electric Music!!

TRAFFIC was cut from the actual release...they were in the over 100 hours of footage (singing Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush).

Blues Magoos "Psychedelic Lollipop" has always been a favorite!
The Bronx boys where at the forefront of psychedelic music in 1966!
(So were Love with Da Capo, but who remembers THEM?!!)

which version of Traffic's Mr Fantasy? the UK or US?
I still miss the old gatefold of their second (Traffic) with the lyrics - thats my current fave by Traffic, though the first album I got by them (on vinyl natch!) was their swansong from 1974 When the Eagle Flies from Its Only Rock and Roll in NYC! |

THe Doors and Jimi gotta be 1 & 2 or 2 & 1, but I'd put Traffic in third. |

Grace (Jeff Buckley) is good, but does it count if it was the only album cut by the artist? |
