Double J reveals

Listen to countdown
today & tomorrow

Double J have dedicated this month to celebrating the special gift that is a debut album. After much internal deliberation, we’re excited to share our list of The 50 Best Australian Debut Albums!
Tune in to Double J from 12pm today with Tim Shiel to hear the first 20, then tomorrow at 12pm as Caz Tran and Zan Rowe count them down from 30 to 1, ruminating on what made them so special at the time and the lasting impact that they’ve had.
Double J’s Music Editor, Dan Condon, says “Hearing a brilliant new artist for the first time may be the purest musical experience we have. To trim this list to just 50 records was a heartbreaking, frustrating, painstaking and, altogether difficult experience. But every record below has a spark that made Australia’s ears prick up. It established careers, inspired more great art, and gave us reason to keep searching for that next great new discovery, even when we think we’ve heard it all.”
Get stuck into the list on the Double J website where music experts from Double J, triple j and around the ABC weigh in on their all-time faves. And hit us up on socials to let us know what you make of the Top 50!
Without further ado, here are Double J’s 50 Best Australian Debut Albums…

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.
