Bat out of Hell was the debut album, and sold 44MM copies putting it in league with Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Eagles' Hotel California.

...and practically no record company was interested in the album when they were out shopping it around.

Clive Davis went so far as to ridicule them to their faces and imply that they had no idea how-to-write-a-rock-song.
