Agreed on a lot of these. I'd add The Grind Date, The Minstrel Show, and Like Water Like Chocolate.

Oh yeah Graduation is a great album too, imo.

Minstrel SHow is in the list somehwere at the top. I cosign Like Water for Chocolate. And yeah Graduation was ill. Not sure if others feel this way but Kanye did it again in my opinion.
