 El Dorado - ELO
 Live at Carnegie Hall - Renaissance
 Volunteers - Jefferson Airplane 
 American Beauty - Grateful Dead
 New Riders of the Purple Sage - S/T

In my first years of music interests I was too young and poor to buy albums. (9 yrs old, 1967)
But when I did start buying LP's it might have looked like this.

The Archies - The Archies 1968
ELP - S/T 1970
Grand Funk - Live 1970
Gas Mask - Their First Album 1970
Paul McCartney - Ram 1971
Deep Purple - Fireball 1971

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Actually, I must say that I didn't buy my very first ones. Embarrassed

I had some Elvis Presley records and Sha Na Na records when I was younger. In 1982, I got a two record K-Tel Hit List of current pop hits.  My first two "proper" records were Christmas of 83 when I received Def Leppard's Pyromania and Quiet Riot's Metal Health.  I still have nostalgia when I hear those two albums.  The first record I ever bought with my own money was Judas Priest's British Steel, which again is still a favorite.    I didn't get into Prog until years later and that door was opened by Rush.

When I was 4-5 years old (1973-75), I was pretty focused on these albums ( my dad graciously let me play them on my own )

The Beatles 1967-1970
The Beatles Rubber Soul
Moody Blues To Our Childrens’ Childrens’ Children
Moody Blues On the Threshold of a Dream

Don't really remember. In the late 60's, The Carpenters, The Beatles, The Monkees,  and The Partridge Family come to mind. I remember watching The Monkees and Partridge Family on TV on the weekends. Still love The Carpenters... think I had a Greatest Hits album.

The first two albums I bought were Thick as a Brick and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Tull remains a favorite. Others, if memory serves, Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs, Alice Cooper Love it to Death, Killer, Schools Out and Billion Dollar Babies, and Frank Zappa Apostrophe.

Rush: Signals/ GUP... then worked backwards
Black Sabbath: Heaven & Hell... then worked backwards
Barclay James Harvest: Ring Of Changes... then worked backwards
Alan Parsons Project: Eye In The Sky... then worked backwards

Yes, I get the gist, Jared, and your working backwards was surely a good thing to do.

A couple of years after the beginning of my worshipping music, and in the years 1975-77, I was almost only into Prog and albums like:

Oldfield  -  the first three
Mahavishnu  - Birds of Fire
Return To Forever  -  Where Have I Known You
Secret Oyster  -  Sea Sun
Jean-Luc Ponty  -  Upon the Wings of Music
Stomu Yamashta  -  Raindog
Wakeman  -  Six Wifes, Myths, No Earthly
Floyd  -  Wish You Were
Focus  -  Hamburger Concerto
Genesis  -  Trespass, Selling
PFM  -  Photos of Ghosts
Jarre  -  Oxygene
Tangerine Dream  -  Stratosfear

- mostly instrumental music and much Jazz-Rock.

I remember my first two - Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies and Genesis Live. After that, no idea but probably included some Yes and Led Zeppelin. Possibly an Alice Cooper album called School Days which was a compilation of his first two albums.

My first favourite albums that are still favourites will have to be most Beatles albums from Rubber Soul and onwards.

When I was 8-9, my favourite album was probably Roxette - Joyride, but nowadays I have a more distanced relationship with it. From a pure pop perspective it very well crafted, without a doubt, but it is not exactly great art. I still enjoy it though.

Before that (5-8), it had been the soundtrack from the film version of the musical Hair.
