Blackmail the Universe, Kick the Chair, Back in the Day, Something that I'm Not, Of Mice and Men, Sleepwalker, Washington is Next, Burnt Ice. I don't have Endgame.
By the way I don't know if anyone else feels this way but considering System has Failed on its own, I consider the second half of the album (start at track 7 to the end) to be much stronger than the first half. I didn't post about this in the first half/second half of CDs thread but I do think it takes a major turn for the better once you hit Back in the Day. Some early tracks like The Scorpion and Tears in a Vial and I Know Jack are throwaways if you ask me.
 
yeah i knew that joke was comin'

Sorry,
I bought into the hype after the comeback.
They killed opening for Heaven and Hell, and I purchased United Abominations immediately after coming out.

After the first couple tracks, the rest is complete filler.

People say the last one is solid, but with all the Dave-drama, I truly have no interest.

Sorry for the initial smart-ass reply, but that's all I could contribute when hearing someone ask for 80 minutes of quality recent Megadeth material. :)
 
I'd probably break out Cryptic Writings and Youthanasia as well - Trust, Almost Honest, half of Youthanasia - but I really love the last 2 albums a ton.

Kick The Chair
The Scorpion
Washington Is Next!
Never Walk Alone... A Call to Arms
United Abominations
Gears of War
À Tout le Monde (Set Me Free)
This Day We Fight!
44 Minutes
How the Story Ends
