Eloy is the debut album by German rock band Eloy, released in 1971.
The album's front cover depicts a garbage can lid, which is printed as an extra flap on the LP cover. When flipped, the bottom of the lid and the inside of the bin are revealed, as if someone opened an actual garbage can.
According to the band's leader Frank Bornemann, members of Eloy had "polarizing positions taken in relation to their artistic direction" at the time, but they "did manage to put an album together which accurately illustrated and reflected the spirit of this epoch". He also thinks that the album represents the band's "embryonic stage".
Allmusic's reviewer Robert Taylor considers the album to be the "humble beginnings for one of progressive rock's most underrated bands".
