Great list takes me back to high school and university years. I would add the following:

Coldplay - parachutes..
foreigner - foreigner....no title, featured cold as ice
Sting - dream of the blue turtles.

I've included sting even though he had his start much earlier with the police - outlandos d'amour not bad for debut album.

Directly above the center of the earth
I can't believe we're on page 2 of this thread and nobody said 'The Cars.'
Several of the choices already mentioned are also good choices.

I find majority of bands have a strong debut, maybe 2nd
But later albums in general start to suck
Very few can keep producing quality
So true. There's a saying in the industry: you have your whole life to write your first album, and six months to write your second.

Ready To Die and Enter The Wu Tang are definitely in my top debut albums. Slim Shady LP wasn't Eminem's debut album.

One of my ATF albums. I personally rate it ahead of Thriller as MJ's best album.
