    I tried to restrict this list to "first recorded output" debuts, which disqualifies solo debuts such as Sting, Peter Gabriel, George Michael, and even Michael Jackson. Totally arbitrary, and some probably even slipped in (for instance, it would be easy to argue Asia breaks this rule--tough). This selection is more reflective of the music I listen to in my personal library than it is of anything thoroughly definitive.
I also tried to limit to songs with broad appeal. There are a number of songs that fit the category that I love but I don't think many other people not like me would recognize. "Astronomy Domine" is probably my biggest sop to this.
It's also surprisingly hard to define true "debut albums". Some of these tracks would be debatable. Oh, well.
Alphabetically by artist:

Asia, "Heat of the Moment"
Bad Company, "Can't Get Enough"
