Seriously though, I hesitated for a second about voting for Jimi... I mean, 1 per cent? Really? Although, no big surprise seeing how the vote seems to be split up between us hardcore PJ fans (the good) and 13-16 year olds who probably don't even know what a guitar is and vote for Kanye (the bad and the ugly). Of you wanna vtoe for a rapper, at least go with B.I.G....

for me TEN is the best album in the world ever,...so no joke here for me...voted
Yield is spelled Y-I-E-L-D, not T-E-N. Duh.
i guess u can tell for sales,awards........
no way...TEN in numero one..always was,always be...end of story..
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
everything else has just added to the feeling i have for the band and the music, but ten is imbedded inside me.

CAN'T KEEP CRAZY MARY IN MY TREE NO WAY NOT FOR YOU. ALL THOSE YESTERDAY JEREMY is ALONE, SAD with RATS & BUGS it's HARD TO IMAGINE a JEREMY a BETTER MAN.
LIFE WASTED, BLOOD on the PORCH, LAST KISS is a WISHLIST DEEP DOWN NOTHING AS IT SEEMS WHY GO COME BACK ALIVE SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE and SMILE.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
that is the worst list ever How do you not have Pink Floyd? Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Michael Jackson.....seriously
Obviously Led Zep had a great debut album. It might be the best debut ever, but it is filled with blues covers, whereas Ten is all original songs.
Beatles: Please Please Me is just ok. I'm sure it was groundbreaking at the time, but it doesn't hold up too well now.
Pink Floyd: Piper at the Gates of Dawn is interesting and psychadelic and crazy, but I wouldn't consider it a great debut album, especially in light of what came from that band in the 70s.
Michael Jackson: What was his debut? Off the Wall? Yeah, it's pretty good, but definitely has its weak spots.
So yeah, that's why not every great artist should be in this poll.

sick yes, but also right in this case - flat out Ten is the best debut.
Should be a no brainer . . . . Oasis should come 2nd though . . . . Definitely Maybe is a great album.
Of all those listed, PJ is the only truly revolutionary debut album . . . Hendrix & Gn'R maybe as well, as they introduced the world to classic bands/musicians, but I'm not sure they have had the same impact as Ten.....

I am as a big a Pearl Jam fan as anyone on here, but Ten is no way a better debut album than Appetite for Destruction. That record single handedly changed music in the '80's. You can not say the same for Ten. It was Nirvana's Nevermind (i know it is their 2nd record) which changed music forever in the '90's & The Strokes Is This It in the '00's.

is it fair to hold GnR in higher regard because the rest of the music sucked at that time? Looking at Appetite vs. TEN to me TEN holds up much better. Appetite had 3 classics, TEN had 4 and the 'others' songs on TEN are way stronger than the other songs on Appetite, at least in my opinion. It is close, but I think TEN wins out.

Well in my opinion there are only two filler songs on Appetite, Anything Goes & Think About You.
I am hard pressed to think of any filler on Ten except for maybe Deep & or Garden. However I feel Appetite was more "revolutionary" than Ten. But that is just my opinion.
On Thursday (February 11), the MTV Newsroom blog asked a question: Is Kanye West's The College Dropout (which came out six years ago this week) the best debut album of all time? It sparked a number of debates both in the newsroom and on the site. Did The College Dropout accomplish more for Kanye than Appetite for Destruction did for Guns N' Roses? Why was Nas' watershed Illmatic left off the list? How could we possibly include Hootie and the Blowfish?
When the poll numbers finally came in, there was one band who dominated above all others. Pearl Jam won hands down with 71 percent of the vote. While there was some obvious ballot stuffing care of the message board denizens at the Ten Club, the victory for Pearl Jam's debut album Ten is not without merit. As we said yesterday, Ten is a remarkable collection of instant classics that bridge the gap between a handful of sub-genres, and it still holds up today. While Kurt Cobain tends to get credit for re-arranging the mindsets of rock fans in the '90s, Pearl Jam's Ten was just as big a part of that revolution as anybody else.
As for the rest of the poll participants, West finished in a distant second place with 13 percent of the vote, followed by Oasis' Definitely Maybe with a somewhat surprising seven percent. Save for Britney Spears (who picked up four percent of the vote), nobody else cleared one percent, which is somewhat surprising. The most shockingly low score? Appetite for Destruction, Guns N' Roses' debut album that is largely thought of not only as a stellar debut but also one of the best rock records ever made. Like Ten, it literally has no low points, from the iconic opening riff of "Welcome to the Jungle" to the closing bass bounces of "Rocket Queen," it delivers power, precision and pop sensibilities in an extremely well-balanced package.
With any poll, there will always be complaints about omissions, and there were a handful of ideas that commenters brought up. The Cars' self-titled 1978 debut could have made a case for inclusion (it bridged the gap between punk and new wave, and of its nine songs, eight became genre staples). Many people also brought up the first album by the Doors, which is a strong debut but fantastically overrated (especially on the second side). And several people complained that Led Zeppelin's I should have been at the top of the list. But that band really didn't find its groove until II (which contained hits like "Whole Lotta Love" and "Moby Dick"), and while I is strong, there's an awful lot of meandering blues jams on that record. Still, it's got a great cover, which should count for something.

Current leader - PJ with 72%...
Kanye West is a close second with....
13%!
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
Obviously Led Zep had a great debut album. It might be the best debut ever, but it is filled with blues covers, whereas Ten is all original songs.

Joy Division should be second
SIKE!!! Of course I voted for Ten....it seems like we might be just about the only people voting!! HAHA!!!
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

Well, it looks like I'm right again.
We are sick
...is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?
sick yes, but also right in this case - flat out Ten is the best debut.
Abso-fuckin-lutely!!
With that said..Ten would therefore have to be the best "debut" album of alltime as well.
Should be a no brainer . . . . Oasis should come 2nd though . . . . Definitely Maybe is a great album.
Of all those listed, PJ is the only truly revolutionary debut album . . . Hendrix & Gn'R maybe as well, as they introduced the world to classic bands/musicians, but I'm not sure they have had the same impact as Ten.....
