greg Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 another one for appetite but would have to add slanted and enchanted too if you could take away the remainder of their catalogue that totally tarnished their debut, i would have to add august and everything after.

LouisvilleGreg Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 the clash, zeppelin, the band, springsteen are all favorites, but damn if I don't still, twenty years later love Appetite. I got it when it was recently released around summer '87 and must've listened to it a 1,000 times that first year. I saw them in December '87 opening for Alice Cooper and it was ridiculous how bad they made him look, they were ferocious. I still take it on most every road trip, as you never know when the mood will strike, timeless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Oo, that reminds me: Meat Puppets, Meat Puppets. and Bad Brains, Bad Brains. While I probably wouldn't put either (o.k. maybe the Pups') in my personal top ten, they both offer a kick-ass debut nonetheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yermom Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 Two of my favorites are: Feelies Crazy RhythmsThrowing Muses Me three. Said title track is sofa king wonderful. Great for driving in the car...it builds and then it breaks open and you've gotta slam your hands on the dash board and sing along and it's just all kinds of super happy time.

Oil Can Boyd Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Meat Puppets, Meat Puppets. See I would put that on the complicatedly-titled list of Bands-Whose-First-Album-I-Don't-Really-Like-But-Whose-Later-Work-I-Love. Others would include: Husker DuReplacementsDinosaur Jr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 In defense of Meat Puppet (first one) I'd agree that I enjoy all their later works more than the first one. However, as a debut album I still think it kicks ass. It was some ballsy stuff for '82. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I came to the Meat Puppets through Meat Puppets II, which I would rank among my 20 favorite albums of all time. Working back to the first album was not so satisfying ...
