I can remember having a ton of kids albums.  A lot of them audio stories (Batman, Superman, audio version of the Star Wars movie) but also the Star Wars soundtrack.

 

But as far as albums themselves by a musician that weren't tied to a movie, etc... probably:

Every piece had a story behind it, each piece designed to tell a different, distinct story (the theme being a time machine dropping in and out of space/time.)  I can remember listening to it over and over again, and letting the music ignite the imagination.  Icebound is pretty trippy.

 

That was pretty out there, even for the time.  The next purely music albums I remember getting were Bee Gees: Spirits Having Flown and Queen: The Game.  As records died out, I think I may have Def Leppard: Pyromania somewhere, but the last I remember buying in vinyl is the first or second Crowded House album in the late 80s.
