Here a few of the top of my head, I'm sure this list is going to get lengthy.

Iron Fist #14 1977
New Mutants #98 1991


And some personal favorites:
Hellblazer #1 1988
Y the Last Man #1 2002
100 Bullets #1 1999
Fables #1 2002
Preacher #1 1995
X-men vol2 #25 1993


I'm sure I'll have to add more later when I get bored.

Go to the price guide and look up the major titles(Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man, etc.), and you'll find that most of the keys are identified with a small key gif. If your looking for first appearances or deaths of certain characters, then you can go to marveldatabase.com or wikipedia and look up the characters. There's a plethora of information on both sites. marveldatabase.com also has info on the various teams.

A few issues that jump out to me:
Amazing Spider-Man #252
Secret Wars #8
Uncanny X-Men# 101,120-121,129,141,158,171,201,205,210-213,222,
244,248,267-268,282-283(I had a cheat sheet in front of me for the UXM)

The main thing is to collect what you like.

More or less everything Alan Moore did in this period

Good luck on Y the Last Man #1, its on fire these days. I've been trying to buy a nice copy on eBay for the last few months and haven't seen a NM copy sell for under $50, the copy I was bidding on yesterday ended at almost $90. I'm beginning to think finishing the run of Y the Last Man may prove harder than I expected.

I was just looking at the price guide, and there were no key gifs.
I guess they weren't carried over from CPG 1.0, which you can still link to from CPG 2.0.

Can't think of any that aren't subjective . Why not just collect what you like?
