if you mean madonna's "holiday," that was her third single, at least. "everybody" and "burning up" both came before. it was her first great single, though.

More: "Talk Talk," "(I Wanna) Testify," "All Fall Down," and "Touch Me, I'm Sick."
The Kinks' debut single was not "You Really Got Me." It was "Long Tall Shorty."

Mind you, their first single as BBAA wasn't "Ring Ring", it was "People Need Love", which to be honest, was utter tripe!!!

Neeeeeeed! Help me out here..;-)
but Pulp weren't really known in the US, then. If anything, they were barely a blip. It did take a while for people to stop saying, "Who the hell are they"?-- Nichole Graham
Oh sure, point taken, but are we talking about *actual official* debut single or just "the first single a band/artist released when people actually bothered to take notice and acknowledge their existence"? The former, surely, hence my exclamation. 'Snot my fault some people are so slow on the uptake...*ducks*

I think the fact that I've never hear of most of these must count against them to an extent.

Why sure. But first repeat to yourself, "Bloodflowers is a very good album. Ned and Dan have very accurate critical perceptions..."

That wasn't even on their debut album; I'm guessing that "Peer Pressure" was their first single, although I could be wrong.

Post-punk before punk. Bonus points for being indie.

Parliaments - I adore "Testify," but I don't know if it was their first. I think they recorded for other labels before Revilot.
Speaking of having more than one debut single out at once . . . Moby Grape. Out of five, only "Omaha" charted, but they're all pretty great.
Also:(I'm sure someone already mentioned) "It's Like That"/"Sucker MCs"Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock, "It Takes Two"Dylan's first single - "Mixed Up Confusion" - is pretty cool, and a nicely odd bit of his historySuperchunk - "What Do I"/"My Noise"/"Train From Kansas City"Zombies - "She's Not There"Was (Not Was) - "Wheel Me Out"The Move, "Night of Fear"/"Disturbance" (I still think Quasi should cover either or both sides)

plus maybe:Plush - "found a little baby"Quickspace - "friend" (well...they'd dropped the Supersport and half the band, so kind of a 2nd debut....?!)Four Tet - thirtysix twentyfiveNeneh Cherry - buffalo stanceThe Monsoon Bassoon - "wise guy"Tindersticks - marbles (or was "patchwork" first?)PJ Harvey - "dress"Mudhoney - "touch me i'm sick""kill Your Televisio..." oh ok, maybe not that one..
and unless i missed them, Sugababes "overload"/Tweet "oops"/Tricky "aftermath" too..
