Boy, it would be great in a way to be able to go back and discover all these new songs as Sophia is going to! I never tire of them, but coming to them for the first time is fantastic. I'm very envious!

ANATO was my first Queen album, as well. And my second. :) (i begged and begged for the tape when BoRhap was rereleased in '91...i had friends copying Quuen records for me constantly, and i never got enough. then, it was also the first Queen CD i bought. probably my second CD ever.)
I wish ADATR had been purchased along side ANATO, but it actually wound up being the last CD i bought (and an album no-one had ever copied for me, as i knew nothing more than TYMD and STL going into it), sometime after Rocks came out -- (it was just that hard to find, and it eventually required an hour-long drive anyway).
But anyway, in my mind, you need to start with the pairs of albums (IMHO, MIH complements Innuendo as perfectly as ADATR does ANATO). so, i would say those four albums are your essentials, and after that, you can let Greatest Hits do your picking for you (find out what album your fave song came from, and pick up the whole album to listen to it in context)

Personally the first Queen album that I have listened is Innuendo.
But I think that it's better if you start with the first album:QUEEN.
In this way you're able to follow Queen evolution from the 70s to the 90s.
