I don't know about the MAR Era. I mean, I've listened to a lot of new bands (mostly metal) with an alright first release, but I can't think of anything that truly hooked me (maybe Chapter I - Monarchy by Ad Infinitum, which was pretty great, but that's about it). Sophomore albums generally tend to be much much stronger IMO. As for all time, here are 5 great first albums off the top of my head: Rotting Christ - Thy Mighty Contract - A great debut, not only because of it's unique twist to black metal, bringing a more melancholic and doom ridden atmosphere, but a highly influential one as well as it single-handedly shaped the Greek black metal scene for the next decade or so. Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 - A hip-hop masterpiece, a kind of rap opera with a futuristic concept. It's, definitely, a very unique album. The Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Comatorium - A bold and ambitious progressive rock album that is also chaotic and, at times, quite headache-inducing, but a very interesting listen nonetheless. Agalloch - Pale Folklore - Not the bands best album, but it's the one that shaped their unique sound, a mixture of black metal, neofolk and post-rock and, as a debut, it is definitely pretty fantastic. Tristania - Widow's Weeds - I've said it before on this forum that I believe this is the best gothic album ever made. It's atmosphere is unparalleled. |

I’ll do an all-time top 10 since I don’t listen to much current music. And these are just debut albums that I love, not necessarily debut albums that I’d consider the best of the band’s overall output.
Chronologically:
The Doors - The Doors
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
Santana - Santana
Van Halen - Van Halen
Metallica - Kill 'Em All
Guns N’ Roses - Appetite for Destruction
Pearl Jam - Ten
Rage Against the Machine - Rage Against the Machine
Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album)

Let's see, without looking too far into this, these are some of my favorites Nilüfer Yanya - Miss Universe
Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger In The Alps
Boygenius - Boygenius
Rina Sawayama - Sawayama
SZA - CTRL
Peach Pit - Being So Normal
but overall I'd add something like
Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden Agalloch - Pale Folklore Pearl Jam - Ten Nas - Illmatic Portishead - Dummy Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes

The Fontaines DC one is one of the only things in rock and pretty much the only new artist who have impressed me in recent years, so that.
For all time, The Velvet Underground, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Weezer's Blue Album, Is This It, Funeral, Franz Ferdinand, and Arctic Monkeys' Whatever People Say I Am......
Then there's a seemingly infinite number of great punk debuts in that 76-78 period (Ramones, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, Elvis Costello, The Adverts, Dead Boys, Gang of Four, Crass, The Jam, Blank Generation and I'm forgetting some)
