Famous (Favorite) Recipes every homebrewer should try at least once

What recipes should every homebrewer try at least once?

The first ones that come to mind are Denny Conn's Wry Smile, McDole's Janet's Brown, and Mosher's Tire Biter bitter.

What other recipes should every homebrewer try at least once? Or another way to ask this, is what are the 'classic'/famous homebrew recipes?

Any links to those recipes?

Here's a nice list Orfy put together of popular recipes on this site. I can't speak for all of them but many are very good:

I was actually let down by both Janet's Brown and Denny's Rye IPA. Both of them were too heavy on the crystal malt for my tastes and not heavy enough on the aroma hops. I’ve learned that I’m usually a lot happier when I write a recipe that matches my tastes rather than using one from someone else.
