Oh wow, that's too hard to pick one, I don't know if I could pick twenty lol. I mean the 80's had some real good stuff from the likes of Eric B and Rakim, KRS-One, Slick Rick right up P.E., Big Daddy Kane, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep and the Jungle Bros. EPMD has some real classics too....get the bozak!!! Then the 90's....more Tribe and De La (I always like them more though), NWA, Gang Starr, Nas, Wu-Tang, Fat Joe, Mos Def & Talib Kweli, The Roots, Company Flow, MF DOOM and so on....
I guess I can only give artists, sorry. Here are my 5 favorite based on what I've listened to most of and in no particular order. El-P/Company Flow, MF DOOM, Mos Def, De La Soul and I can't separate Nas because of Illmatic and Raekwon because of Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, those two tapes/cd's got much play in the mid-90's.
I LOVE paying for Xbox Live! I also love that my love for it pisses off so many people.
