In addition to those previously mentioned, one of my all time favorite albums, and one that I will listen to beginning to end often is:

Counting Crows - August and Everything After

Their debut, Night Songs, was a total banger.

I echo nominations of the Cars, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Bad Company.

I add the debut LP's of Aerosmith, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Doobie Brothers, Van Haylen, and Foreigner.

I think Kiss's first LP was suggested; if not, I add it.

There are a lots more that just escape my mind at this time.

Let me add Garbage's first LP to the list.

Oops. Someone already mentioned Bad Co. Leaving it anyway as that is my morning jam today.
