I'm sorry, but if you are not putting "I wanna be adored" by The Stone Roses on their self titled debut album then everyone on here is either a lot younger or a lot older than I thought

Every now and again, a poster you respect says something that shocks you.
I'd go Over My Head, Fleetwood Mac, The White Album
(technically not their first album, but the first album by the classic Rumours lineup of McVie x2, Fleetwood, Buckingham and Nicks)

Definitive Gaze, Real Life, Magazine.
Roadrunner, Modern Lovers, Modern Lovers.
A couple that just missed it, I Wanna be your Dog is second on The Stooges album and Another Girl Another Planet is second on the Only Ones album.
