I was going to say the same, but did anybody on the board besides me, own No Doubt S/T before Tragic Kingdom came out?
 
 Wait, does anybody even own Tragic Kingdom? [/b]

I'm not saying they don't count; just in my opinion neither had quite the impact that Appetite did (though I'd say Pavement had a bigger impact than Jeff Buckley, but again, it's just my opinion).

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.
 
   

That's not Beck's debut.

     Uhhh...Mellow Gold?

True, but they all came out within the same year and pretty close to one another, so I figured it was acceptable.  But agreed, not a true debut.
 
 Ten was a good call, and the closest thing to Appetite posted so far.

I own Tragic Kingdom, but only ironically, and I've never actually listened to it.

why would you own an album ironically?

I actually own it as well, and the two proper follow-ups.  And their not my wife's.  And its not ironically.

I don't even know how to begin answering that question!   :eek:

I had to google that one. Does that disqualify it as a significant album?

I'll one up you and tell you that I'm listening to it right now, and would have done so with out this thread (which I agree is a great thread).
 
 I'm just prepping for my trip to The OC this weekend.

it's an honest question though. like, did you just get it as a gift and keep it for giggles? or did you actually purchase it because you felt it would look good as part of a collection? or what?

I thought of this one. It's huge, no doubt, but where are the followers?

Well, there's some music that people listen to because it appeals to the auditory sense. And then there's some music people listen to because it appeals to the ironic senses.
