Weezer - "Weezer"
1994

It's rare that a group starts so fully formed like this. They knew exactly how they wanted to sound. This is still their best album to me.

Warren G - "Regulate... G Funk Era"
1994

Great debut. Production is ridiculous good.

Usher - "Usher"
1994

I remember hating this back in the days, but it doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world right now. Definitely didn't know I had this in my collection.

Tortoise - "Tortoise"
1994

These guys are one of a kind. Dope debut.

Top Quality - "Magnum Opus"
1994

He came out as part of PMD's Hit Squad. This is one of those albums where the lead single was so insanely good that I had to get the album right away, only to find out there's nothing even close to that level besides that 1 song.

Todd Snider - "Songs For The Daily Planet"
1994

This is nowhere near his later career stuff, once he wasn't on a major label anymore, but this is still a good album. It's weird to me he started as a major label artist like this.

Thug Life - "Vol. 1"
1994

One and only album from this 2Pac side project. There's some cuts on here for sure, but it also has the feel like it was thrown together in a couple weeks, and he was just talented enough to make it tight.

This is a pretty impressive rock debut.

Sponge - "Rotting Pinata"
1994

I've gotta be in the right mood for these guys, but this is a decent debut.

Soul Coughing - "Ruby Vroom"

Excellent debut. Nothing else like it. They were in the zone.

Shyheim - "AKA The Rugged Child"
1994

Wu-Tang's entry into the little kid rapper fad of the time. This album has a couple good songs, but is mostly kinda half baked sounding.

Sausage - "Riddles Are Abound Tonight"

One and only album from the original Primus lineup under a different name. Pretty good stuff.

Saafir - "Boxcar Sessions"
1994

Amazing debut. There's nothing else quite like this. He was in his own lane.

Rob Rule - "Rob Rule"
1994

He was a bass player for a few different well known bands including Candlebox and The Vandals. This is his one and only solo album.

Portishead - "Dummy"
1994

Perfect album. Gunning for my #1 spot. Fun fact: the copy I had in the 90's did not have 'It's A Fire' on it, and I never heard that song until the mid 00's.

PMD - "Shade Business"
1994

Both this and the Erick Sermon album from the year before are fine, but they did much better work together. Their solo albums always have filler.

Outkast - "Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik"
1994

From the moment I first heard the 'Players Ball' single, I knew these guys would be special. Strong contender, easily. Their first in a long string of classics.

Odd Squad - "Fadanuf Fa Erybody"
1994

The world's introduction to the wild character known as Devin The Dude. This album is pretty crass and offensive in parts, but it's also a well produced, fun album as well.
