Brubaker's run on Captain America is must read, though quite long. The short run by Stern/Byrne is great. The DeMatteis/Zeck period features a lot of great stories. I like a lot of Gruenwald's run, though it suffered from weak art, in my opinion. The Secret Empire story, in the 70's, by Steve Gerber is a particularly momentous arc for Captain America.

Captain America: Man out of Time (Great story by Mark Waid about Cap adjusting to the 21st century. A good starting point)

Captain America: Winter Soldier (The start of Brubaker's fantastic run on the character)

The Death of Captain America (A three-part story by Brubaker about Cap's death and Bucky replacing him)

Captain America: Operation Rebirth (The classic Waid-Ron Garney run)

Captain America No More (When Cap drops the mantle and leaves the government)

Agreed. This is the perfect Captain America reading order.
