10 Best Debut Rock Albums Of The 1990s
8. Suede - Suede
If you grew up in England in the mid-90s, then you couldn't escape the vice-like grip that Britpop had on the country's music scene.
The genre that housed Blur, Pulp, and Oasis exploded in popularity, encouraging kids across the land to give themselves short haircuts and whinge about how rubbish everything was.
One of the earliest examples of Britpop is the self-titled debut release of the band Suede, which came out in 1993.
In the build-up to its release, the group put out three singles - The Drowners, Metal Mickey, and Animal Nitrate. These wildly popular songs created a huge amount of buzz around the album and very few fans were disappointed when it finally saw daylight.
A melting pot of indie rock, glam metal, punk, and about a million other things, Suede instantly won over both critics and the public with this uniquely British-sounding album.
This would be the first step on a long and prosperous journey taken by the lads, who still shift units to this very day. Though they may not be as famous as some of the bands that came after them, Suede have more than assured their place in British rock history.
