Very good list. The only thing I'd consider changing is swap KRS ONE for NWA-Straight Outta Compton. I love KRS ONE but Straight Outta Compton is simply a landmark album.

Great album, but I can't say that is a debut since it is a group of established stars.

Licensed to Ill was not the Beastie Boys first album.

Bullet for my Valentine - The Poison

And I know I'll get blasted for this, but

Creed - My Own Prison

It was their best album, and they exploded on to the scene when this came out

Bush - Sixteen Stone is another "Creed-esque" one. A band whose first album was by far their best and that not many people liked for very long.
