Thats true and I was just about to say, full albums are rarely ever remembered in FULL. They have huge tracks that people still play no matter what, I mean the same people in here would have said CIL wouldnt be remembered 10 years later if asked and lord knows its still Top 200 on iTunes 8 years later.

Right? Actually, I completely forgot to mention this before, but let's look at how music has been remembered...by the historians.
I took AP European History two years ago and AP US History last year. Bailey was the author of my APUSH book and Spielvogel of my Euro book. Both incredibly reputable historians.
In the European history book, the aritsts that were mentioned were Britney Spears and Madonna, that was it. Two extremely influential artists that had a significant impact on the culture.
In the American history book, the artists that were mentioned included The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis Presley.
So it seems that the albums aren't even remembered by the historians.
I can see it for Recovery, because it was sort of a comeback and huge commercially, and LTWYL was huge as well, even if most critics consider Eminem to be well past his peak as a rapper. Aside from that, MBDTF as Kanye's defining work. Apart from that, probably none at all.
