Bowline and square are top two for sure, for most people these two will cover 99% of their needs.

I would say clove hitch (attach the middle of your rope to something) and taut line hitch (look like a hero attaching your christmas tree to the car) round out the top 4 for me in terms of practical, everyday knots.
