The first Buffett album (CD) that I listened to in its entirety was the "Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays" live album. I give that record a lot of credit for making me into the fan I am because it wasn't overloaded with the SYKBH. Until that point I had heard Margaritaville, Cheeseburger in Paradise, and Come Monday on the radio, but that CD exposed me to a few of his rarer songs like Tin Cup Chalice and Trying to Reason With Hurricane Season.
The first studio album I listened to start to finish was "Far Side of the World" which came out a year after I got TTS. Oddly, at the time I wasn't a fan of FSOTW, but now I consider it easily one of my top five favorite Buffett albums start to finish with "Far Side of the World" being my favorite Buffett song of all due to my experiences traveling literally to the far side of the world.
Those two albums definitely shaped my formative years of Buffett fandom

There are jobs and chores and questions and plates I need to twirl, but tonight I'll take my chances on the far side of the world
