Taking the thread title literally, I'll say Big Star's Third, though if recording year vs. release year screwiness disqualifies it, I'll happily substitute This Year's Model.

Immediate answer that popped into my head was Thriller. It came out 10 days after I was born! With all due respect to Computer Games (released 10 days before I was born - thanks Wikipedia), I'm sticking with that.

The real answer is Slates but since that's clearly an EP, I'll go with the first self-titled Indoor Life album.
