Now that I've been reading more manga I can come up with a better list (though still not good enough). In no particular order:

Gantz (1-15) - screams original. You all know it.

20th Century Boys (1-17) - probably my favorite of Urasawa Naoki's works thus far

Monster (1-18) - one of the greatest stories ever told

Pluto (1) - the very promising newest manga from Urasawa Naoki

Death Note (1-4) - a manga about a psychological battle between two great minds - recent arc, however, has been pretty weak

One Piece (1-?) - a truly great shounen manga. You all know this one, too.

D. Grayman (1-2) - a really promising new shounen manga from new mangaka Hoshino Katsuri.

Bleach (1-15) - shoot me but I love it. The characters are great - it's their lovable quirkiness that keeps me going through the sometimes-mundane/average shounen plot, even though Bleach can hold its own at times (moments which have significantly increased in the Save Rukia arc)

Gun Blaze West (1-3) - I guess this is what one calls a guilty pleasure. Rejected manga from Kenshin's mangaka, canceled after 3 volumes, but it's a pure western and I have a soft spot for westerns

666 Satan (1-9) - shounen from Masashi Kishimoto's twin brother, though I definitely like it more than Naruto, because the quality has been steadily rising since volume 5
