Re: 1984 debuts
I am baffled by the decent showing FGTH has - the album is a bit of a dog's dinner really. The singles are peerless (but the best mixes aren't on the album) but it has a lot of filler.
Wish (The Lads Were Here), Ballad of 32, Black Night White Light, 3 unexciting cover versions?

Only other notable debuts are Coils, and Surfers of a lowly orifice. Either Coil's album, or Surfer's band name keeps getting me blocked from this site though.
I'm relying on what wikipedia tells me for these polls, for the most part. Not surprisingly, I know nothing about KMFDM. I do know that the Surfers' true debut was their 83 self-titled e.p., though.
Where would rock 'n' roll be without feedback?

I was thinking of them the other day. I liked their first EP and album a lot and saw them with U2 for the War tour. I doubt I've paid much attention to them after 1986.
Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

It's a rubbish thread series anyway this.
I mean, ALBUMS of the eighties by all means. But limiting it to DEBUTS of particular years in that so-so decade - you're going to get some very poor stuff.

Great debuts don;t come along very often and certainly not in yer average year

I’m baffled too – they’ve only got one tune. The other one, “The Power of Love”, isn’t even a tune at all but the most shockingly derivative wad of pap that ever defiled the airwaves. Celine Dion couldn't puke up something worse. It makes me sick to my soul – I hate it.
...in other news...
Lloyd Cole and the Commotions – I liked them a lot.
I just checked Ratt – Out of the Cellar – oof!
Strange to see that Roger Waters album. Even back then the cover was controversial – “asking for it” etc. I wouldn’t have dreamed of buying it although I enjoyed seeing the arse while browsing. So does anyone know/like it?

A mate of mine used to play it a lot back in the day. It's awful.

The Roger Waters, you mean? It has "shocker" written all over it, that's for sure.
Muy malo.

I remember hearing it once soon after it was released. Not good.
