How about when you "Got the Knack?"
Thos are just two debut albums that come to my mind that were dropped by the record label and met with instant critical and commercial success. Others might include Pearl Jam's "Ten" or Christopher Cross' eponymous debut.
You know what I mean, and I'm sure you've got some favorites of your own.
Well, on Monday February 28, join me in listing our all time eight favorite debut albums.
I have to give credit to Stephen T. McCarthy for the idea, although he did not envision a blog hop at the time. He thought we would be the only two participants. I'm hoping that my followers, lurkers, some friends and a lot of sympathetic strangers prove him wrong. I'd hate to waste the free link tool on a blog hop that bombs.
So sign up now!
Tell your friends.
You don't necessarily need eight, just tell us all what debut albums hold a special place in your record collection (or, I guess, your iPod, or server, or however you gather your music these days).

I might have to research this one since I'm not totally sure if certain albums were debuts.
I'll sign up when the Linky list comes back. You did have a Linky up right? Sometimes those lists disappear for a while.
I'll have to add this blog fest to my Monday post.

Lee-
I'm not sure why you're not seeing the Linky List-it's showing for me.
Odd.

Well, I see it now...
Guess I've somehow become a "Cavanaugh".

Stephen-
I'd spare you that suffering.
You know I turn fifty this year, and have been sick all week. Thursday night, when I thought things might be getting better, a get an AARP invitation in the mail.
People say fifty is the new forty...but AARP says it's the new 65!
Lee-
I think I'm getting close to my eight-I started with more than 25.

All right! We have a button. Will plug for you this week.
Thanks, Alex!

Weird -- Linky lists are not showing up on my primary computer, but I was able to sign up on one of my old computers.
Okay, I'm in. Will note it on tomorrow's post.

You think you got your AARP invite early? I got one when I was about 30. For $12 they said I could get a lifetime membership. For years I got Modern Maturity magazine and all sorts of AARP mailings. Then about 5 years ago when I was 55 they said I had to start paying something like $20 per year to keep my membership. Maybe they figured I'd been living far too long.
Lee
All set for tomorrow!
Lee-
You're not alone-I can't see the Linky Tool on my work PC.
Larry
I'm in!
