well man , i would send mostly 60's-70's albums , music today is on a huge decline compared to the masterpieces and musician geniuses that were in the scene back then.
i see you want songs from today maily so, from today's music , i only pay attention to what's mainstream , so i can't tell exactly what's the best in quality.
but if you want a 5 album hiphop list from the last 10-5 years to send back to the future i would saaay:
Carter 2 or 3, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy , Eminem Show , 2001 , and i must put this on it too even though its a lil bit older All eyez on Me

but damn man , the great albums that i would put would be this :

Beatles - Sergeant Peppers Lonely Club Heart Band
Rolling Stones - Exiled on Main Street
Velvet Underground - Velvet Underground and Nico (banana cover album)
Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon
Stevie Wonder - Hotter than July/Innervesions/Bob Dylan-Highway 61/ Rolling Stones - her satanic majesty request/Beatles-Revolver

cant tell , the list would be endless man dam
