Reason why I think deserves to be in top 5 is is uniqueness. there is not one epic shooter out there that I know that controls like Raptor, has a weapons system like raptor, has enemy patterns like Raptor...etc.
There are many awesome SHMUPS out there, however when you play something like Aleste and Radiant Silvergun, you can tell they come from the same genepool of game design. Same goes for a lot of those horizontal scrolling ones. Gradius and Rtype feel very similar. Wouldn't be surprised if same devs worked on a lot of those games.
Closest thing to Raptor i can think of is Raiden and that isn't very similar.
Id also say Raptor feels very American in style and design, which is quite rare for SHMUPs.
