is counting down the
50 Best Australian Debut Albums
this month
.

There’s something magic about a brilliant debut album: they can introduce you to a new artist, a new sound, and sometimes even a new movement…
That’s why Double J is dedicating the month of September to celebrating some of the best and brightest debut albums in Australian music! We’ve asked music experts from Double J, triple j and around the ABC to weigh in on their all-time favourites and we’re counting down the 50 Best Australian Debut Albums.
Join us from midday on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September for two big afternoons of music hosted by Double J’s Tim Shiel, Caz Tran and Zan Rowe, where you’ll hear songs from a huge array of genres from the past five decades of Australian music.
Plus, this month’s episodes of The J Files go deep on four artists who seemingly came from nowhere to deliver perfect debut albums – Sinead O’Connor, Pearl Jam, Wu-Tang Clan and Florence + The Machine. Tune in to Double J on Thursday nights from 8.
Meanwhile, Double J’s Classic Albums program will focus on seminal international debut albums for the month of September from Patti Smith, Björk, Arctic Monkeys and Rage Against The Machine, exploring what made them connect so powerfully at the time and why they have endured in the years since. Tune in on Monday nights at 7.
Online, we’ll take a look at each of the records in our top 50 list and what made them so special.
This mammoth list will join our other 50 best lists, including the 50 Best Australian Albums of the 90s, the 50 Most Memorable Movie Soundtracks, the 50 Most Important Female Artists of the 90s, and of course our yearly 50 Best Albums lists.
Listen to Double J via the triple j app, digital radio, on Channel 200 on your digital TV and online at doublej.net.au

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
