Sounds like we started right about the same time. I was in 5th grade or so.

I know my first rock/pop album (cassette) was Styx "Kilroy Was Here" followed by Def Leppard “Pyromania”. After that I’m pretty sure I joined Columbia House and among my first batch were probably

Aerosmith “Rock In A Hard Place”
Van Halen “Diver Down”
Men At Work “Business As Usual”
Fleetwood Mac “Mirage”
Stevie Nicks “Bella Donna”
Asia S/T + maybe "Alpha"
Styx Paradise Theater

2. Elektrifying (a Dutch sampler on Elektra)
3. Traffic - Traffic
4. Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow
5. The Doors - Waiting For The Sun

Started in october 1968 with these.
Thanks to my youthful thoughtlessness I've sold or exchanged most of them. Only Traffic is still in my collection.

 

Meet the Beatles
Dave Clark Five Greatest Hits
