From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is the debut studio album by the American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released on November 9, 1976, by Shelter Records. The album was recorded and mixed at the Shelter Studio in Hollywood, California.
The album received little attention on its release in the United States. It climbed to No. 24 on the UK albums chart following a British tour, and the single "Anything That's Rock 'n' Roll" became a hit in the UK. After nearly a year and many positive reviews, the album reached the U.S. charts, where it peaked at No. 55 in 1978 and eventually went Gold.
"Breakdown" was released as the lead single and cracked the Top 40 in the U.S. and "American Girl" became one of the band's signature songs.

Home to Myself Review by William Ruhlmann:
Now, I dont have the soul of Joni, and I cannot see myself like Miss Laura, sang Melissa Manchester on Funny That Way, thus marking out the competition. Like Mitchell and Nyro, Manchester was a piano-playing female singer, but she was right in noting that while there was a surface similarity in their musical approaches, she did not dig quite as deep emotionally as her predecessors. Manchester came from a lighter pop, supper club tradition, and on her debut album, singing songs most of which had lyrics by Carole Bayer Sager, she explored a territory that seemed almost barren at the time a sophisticated, non-rock pop/jazz style that emphasized delivery and chops over individualistic, confessional writing. (It bore some similarities to the style of Manchesters former employer, the more flamboyant Bette Midler.) Not surprisingly, she did not find an immediate audience for such an approach, though this promising album did reach the charts.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Eric Carmen is the debut album by American rock musician and singer-songwriter Eric Carmen. It is also his first of two self-titled albums, the other released in 1984. It peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard album chart upon its release in 1975, the highest position of his career, and generated the No. 2 pop single All by Myself in the same year. The song reached No. 1 on the Cashbox and Record World charts. The album also included two follow-up top 40 hits, Never Gonna Fall in Love Again (No. 11), and Sunrise (No. 34), both of which charted in 1976.
All tracks were written by Carmen except the Drifters song On Broadway, which was written by Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. This LP also contained Carmens original version of Thats Rock and Roll, which became a No. 3 hit for Shaun Cassidy in 1977.
The album was Carmens first solo production after leaving the Raspberries, a power pop group which scored several top 40 hits in the early 1970s.
Eric Carmen wrote all of the songs on the album except for On Broadway (Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil, Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber). Several of his songs interpolate classical melodies:
Never Gonna Fall in Love Again is borrowed from Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoffs Symphony No. 2 in E minor.
All By Myself has elements from Rachmaninoffs Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor.
My Girl exploits a theme from Rachmaninoffs Piano Concerto No. 2.
Last Night quotes Etude Op. 10 No. 3 by Frédéric Chopin.
