Once and For All, Judgment Day Edition: Are You Experienced? Is the Greatest Debut Album Ever

By Mr. Moderator on Jan 25, 2010

Congratulations are due to the Jimi Hendrix Experience's debut album, Are You Experienced?, for being determined as the Greatest Debut Album Ever by the members of Rock Town Hall.

This historic consensus pick followed days of rigorous discussion and on-the-fly development of stringent criteria. Congratulations are also due to the runners-up who merited serious consideration.

Finally, the field of rock criticism thanks you, Townspeople, for tacking this challenging question head on.

In other matters serving the betterment of rock criticism...

I'll have to buy that Jimi album one of these days. I think I have all the songs on the Jimi albums I have, but I just never got around to getting that.

Does this mean that the only albums we can consider for this once and for all if we go back to it in, say, 2025 will have to have been released after 2009, then? Besides Are You Experienced, that is.

Good question, 2K. I think whatever rock discussion community decides to challenge our determintion will need to answer that.

I feel comfortably behind the winner--which isn't always the case, so kudos all around.

What's Eddie Money doing in the collage?

Money's debut received a surprising amount of offlist support. We felt compelled to show the full scope of the discussion this topic generated.

I can't believe no one brought up Eddie Money's stylized "Eddie Money" signature in the logo thread. I'm glad I didn't participate in that sham.

"When people see my 'Eddie Money' logo, I want they should think of my name, which is Eddie Money." - Eddie Money on the creation of his Eddie Money logo.
