Fuffy ,'Storyteller'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
And of course there's always things that are inexplicably left out of a particular list, but to have 75 "essential" trip-hop songs without Massive Attack? WTF?!

Obvious places to go would be anything by Portishead (esp. their first), the first Morcheeba record. First Goldfrapp record.
Various Ultra Chilled collections (though some of these can be bland. Others can be decent samplers.)
Here's somebody's Amazon chillout list with some trip hop classics
I was gonna say Portishead, Hec! Dammit, I so very rarely have anything useful to say in here, and you stole my thunder.

That's about all I knew until bon bon educated me in the genre.
As consolation I offer you...
The pirate themed party girls of Bootie (the mashup club
Well damn.
Ladytron is more electronica than trip-hop, but they're awesome.
Oh! I've been listening to a lot of Sneaker Pimps lately. They count.
Also, for Trip-hop, Tricky, who worked with Massive Attack early on.
