Akismet - great for getting rid of spam
Adsense plugin - to add Adsense
Mailform - for a contact form
Recent posts - to list your recent posts
Mobile Blog - to get your blog on mobiles and PDA's

Get :
poll plugin
Audio Player- Very good if you want to steam .mp3 files.
Blogbling - Add social bookmark links to each blog entry.
Those are the best ones which i use for all my blogs.

The Widgets Plugin is really good too. Apart from that the do follow one is good, as also sitemap is a must too.I guess, Akismet comes in default with WP.
The choice of plugins should depend on your need, as to what you want. You can find a lot of plugins at
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins
http://wp-plugins.net/
http://www.bloggingpro.com/archives/...press-plugins/
If you are a less frequent blogger .. Try Wp-cache
Works leaps and bounds in reducing your server load and makes your site more responsive!
A final word, don't overload your Blog with plugins, since cluttered blogs can be an open doorway to exploits, hence better be safe than sorry

You don't need a plug-in for adsense though. You can do that without it.

This ImageManager provides an interface for browsing and uploading image files on/to your server. My favorite plugin I've found so far -

After the above mentioned plugins I can recommend you Meta-tags, Sticky post and Technorati plugins.
