In order of release...

1 Illmatic
2 Liquid Swords
3 ATLiens
4 Moment of Truth
5 Soul Survivor
6 The Fix
7 Donuts
8 Never Better
9 Skelethon
10 Tetsuo & Youth

I tried to span my years of listening. A few that were the hardest to leave out;

The Main Ingredient - I elected to go with Soul Survivor for the various MCs.
The Infamous & Dah Shinin' - both are the epitome of mid-90s NYC hip-hop but so is Liquid Swords and I needed a Wu album in the mix.
Stakes Is High - hard to not have De La.
Aquemini - couldn't have two Kast albums and ATLiens always edges it out.
TFA, BOBS, LWFC, & TOT - wish I could take the best of this era.
Trophies - this album is tied to my wedding and honeymoon so it represents a great time in my life.

Last note...no west coast albums but I just don't reach to play any of them very often for whatever reason. Sorry R-Tistic! At least Aesop was living in SF while writing and recording Skelethon so maybe that counts?
