First Song...First Side...First Album

[Illbay]

Careful with that Axe Eugene was a great first song from Pink Floyd's Umaguma

Ummagumma was not their first album though...unless you want to say it was their first without Syd Barrett.

(In fact, that was a *live* version of Careful With That Axe, Eugene, which is on an earlier LP -- Saucerful of Secrets, I think)

Time Consumer- Coheed & Cambria
2112- Rush

Wasn't "Fly By Night" Rush's first album? (As well as first single).

I think 2112 was later.

No, 'Rush' was Rush's first album..

you're right...but 2112 wasn't on that album, was it?

2112 was the 4th album. Finding My Way (see first post) was the first song, first side, first album for Rush.
