Might as well say Please Please Me. lol

Actually, Please Please Me and Introducing The Beatles are identical except Love Me Do and P.S. I Love You are left off of Introducing. Now the later Capitol "debut" LP called Meet The Beatles is totally different. There's only one song on Meet The Beatles that is in common with the other 2 albums and that is I Saw Her Standing There.

I can't think of 10 at the moment, but I know #1 for me is definitely "Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd" by Lynyrd Skynyrd. A lot of great songs on that album. "Free Bird" of course, "Tuesday's Gone" and "Simple Man" to name a few. Brilliant album.

Heatwave - Too Hot To Handle (my all-time favorite)

Chante Moore - Precious (it's a slept on classic)

Anita Baker - The Songstress

New Edition - Candy Girl

Toni Braxton - s/t

Mary Jane Girls - s/t (only two albums but whatever)

Sade - Diamond Life

James Ingram - It's Your Night

Deniece Williams - This Is Niecy

George Michael - Faith

I forgot about Heatwave's (for some reason). It is a damn good debut.

As for George, I started to put that one, but changed my mind at the last minute. It is a great album, though.

The rap destroys "Starstruck". "Boys Boys Boys" was yuck. "I Like It Rough" was rough. I liked "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" and "The Fame" though... I don't know, some of it had a strong feel and then something ruins some of the songs. It wasn't totally bad though but let's just say it wasn't one of those albums that I thought "oh wow this is like some great material". I initially was digging it but it's wearing thin now. shrug Like I said late last week she has potential to do better.
