(Started December 17th, 2022) Part 1 of The Most Revelatory Debut CDs Ever: The Doors and Led Zeppelin

Hello,

These are the most revelatory, eye opening, heart stopping and what would I do without these CDs CDs. They cover most genres, rock, pop, alternative, funk, soul and pop. Some bands had these kind of CDs, but they came later in their careers. I'm thinking of Prince's "Purple Rain", Def Leppard's "Hysteria" and Michael Jackson's "Thriller". But I want to highlight the breakout debut CDs, some of these CDs had more impact than others. I'm sure "Led Zeppelin 1" would be included here, but I was only 2 when it was released. Obviously I can't attest for it's pop culture influence.

Never mind I have changed my mind I am going to include Led Zeppelin self-titled and The Doors "The Doors". The Doors debut CD was born the same year I was, 1967. Interestingly The Doors also released the very good "Strange Days" in 1967- musicians were a lot more prolific back in the day. I may or may not be posting the original tracks.
