What are the 5 most influencial albums ever? Albums that give birth to new trends, styles and make other artists step-up thier game. Albums that have been raped sample-wise is a good indication of a very influencial album.
Here are the 5 IMO, in no particular order.

The Low End Theory took the last spot but Dr. Dre's The Chronic, BDP's Criminal Minded, Public Enemy's It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back and even Outkast's Southernplayalisticaddilacmusik were all fighting for that spot. So that's the top 5...any questions?

I agree 100%. These are the the albums that built hip hop.
-
1.dre- The Chronic
2.NWA- Straight Outa Compton
3.Notorious Big-Ready To Die
4.Jay-Z- Reaosnable Doubt
5.Eric B and Rakim- Paid In Full

My five:
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions
The first real time that a hiphop group got real political on us and still sold millions of records.
Eric B and Rakim - Paid In Full
Whilst everyone else was rapping over heavy rock influenced breaks and beats, Eric B's funky production and Rakim's revolutionary rhyme style were a breath of fresh air.
NWA - Straight Outta Compton
Dre has said himself that he doesn't really like this album, but it is a landmark album, the birth of gangsta rap to the mainstream audience, and a group straight repping the west.
Dr Dre - The Chronic
Nobody knew what Dre was gonna do after leaving NWA, and he suprised many with the sound of the Chronic. He created the laid back, G-Funk vibe on this album, and it gave birth to so many dope rappers.
Wu Tang Clan - 36 Chambers
Whilst most other people at the same were trying to go funky to compete with Dre and the West Coast, the Wu released one of the grimiest hiphop albums ever. Although you could argue that this was basically just going back to the old school, RZA's martial arts influenced beats mixed with the dopeness of rhyming of Ghostface, GZA, Method Man and co was entirely fresh, and was something that I feel hiphop needed at that time.

lol this is where i step in 8)
1. (http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc000/c003/c00350v117n.jpg)
The Beatles "Revolver" 1966
plain and simple music as we've known it for the last 30 plus years wouldn't exist without this band really
2. (http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf100/f195/f195994uku1.jpg)
Black Sabbath "Paranoid" 1971
the best way i can explain this is ......this album had the EXACT same impact on music as Straight Outta compton had on rap
3. (http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc700/c779/c779507m8eo.jpg)
Jimi Hendrix "Are you Experienced" 1967
when jimi dropped this album , he did two things. 1. found the EXACT equalibrium for lyrics and melody and 2. reinvented a way a musical instrument could be played, which is still coppied heavily today
4. (http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf000/f080/f080143y174.jpg)
Led Zeppelin "IV"
This is here becuase Zep is being coppied right and left in every form of music, this is their most eclectic album and you can apply every song to a certain genre , and each genre got started from these songs......i mean how many albums can claim that each song gave birth to a new genre or reinvented one?
5. (http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf700/f728/f72835fsif2.jpg)
the ramones "the ramones" 1977
without this record you don't have at least half of what's out there today, whether it be your nirvanas ...or your Roots, it's really the base of modern day counterculture that gave hip hop it's drive
