Look Sharp, Joe Jackson
Dirt, Alice in Chains
Songs From The Big Chair, Tears For Fears
Boneclouds, Mason Jennings
Abbey Road, Beatles

I could do plenty more, but these were the first 5 that came to mind.
 
Mine is Desolation Boulevard by Sweet. My parents joined the Columbia Record Club in 1975 and let me pick an album for myself at the formative age of 12. I chose that one due to it having Ballroom Blitz on it, for they had already bought me the 45 of that song as well as the 45 of Fox On The Run. I was surprised to find actual rock songs on that album, and have had a copy of it since then. There are other disks wide and varied in music and style, but that one is my first.
 
I have many but here is a taste:

The Pearl - Harold Budd & Brian Eno
Live! - Donny Hathaway
Etta James Rocks the House - Etta James
Nirvana Unplugged - Nirvana
Fantastic Planet - Failure
Blast Tyrant - Clutch
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
The Mollusk - Ween
Dog in the Sand - Frank Black & Catholics
Swing's the Thing - Al Sears
 
Certainly far and above all others, including all Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Loggins & Messina, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Dylan, Rush, CSN, Doors, Clapton, or any other great and classic work of musical art, it has to be...
William Shatner - Seeking Major Tom



I forgot about Shatner. I have that album, but I much prefer its predecessor "Has Been". One of can definitely listen to many times over.
 
Weezer Blue album
Metallica - And Justice for all, Ride the lighting, master of puppets, Kill Em All
The Cars - selftitled
The Raconteurs broken boy soldiers
Nirvana Nevermind
Pearl Jam Ten
Ive never skipped any Ventures tune.
Foo fighters Colour and the shape - Initially not an all the way thru album but now it is for me.
Muse - Absolution, black holes and revalations, probably others too.
 
Okay I'll bite and this is the tip of the iceberg.
Enjoy.
