Another double sided amazing 45 from Chuck Berry from '56. I remember the first time I 'discovered' Havana Moon. Must have played it 5 dozen times in the next month and added it to my next personal mix-tape (in the days before playlists.)
On That Note: With Six You Get Egg Roll

The Pretender - Jackson Browne: Released 11/76
In the college days it was common to borrow house members' albums back and forth to make cassette copies. This was how I was exposed to this album. It might have actually been after Running On Emtpy was already a huge hit.
The title track falls perfectly into one of my sub-genre themes; As Thoreau put it, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation." Or as I describe it, the lives of the average working stiff.

Same here. Lots of cassettes made on Friday and Saturday nights before or after our campus town runs. For me, exposed to Huey Lewis , Warren Zevon and Talking Heads that way.
Genesis
A Trick of the Tail 1976
First album with Phil Collins as lead singer
Wonderful, quirky album. The best Phil sung album for Genesis in my opinion.

Kick me out of the thread if you must, but I'm going to give you a few releases from 100 years ago, 1926. They were released as singles on 78s so technically not albums. Up to this point the concept of an album did not exist.
Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five - Heebie Jeebies
Jelly Roll Morton's Red Hot Peppers - Black Bottom Stomp
This one is truly an album as the entire symphony was on a series of 78s to be played sequentially - a groundbreaking concept at the time. This is just the first disc.
Frieder Weissmann, Staatskapelle Berlin - Beethoven's Symphony #1 in C
(It was recorded in 1925 and released in 1926 in time to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Beethoven's death in '27.)
