In no order:
K-ON!!
A Certain Scientific Railgun
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Steins;Gate
Highschool DxD
Cowboy Bebop
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
I recommend watching A Certain Magical Index before A Certain Scientific Railgun. They both have SoL/comedy and action, but Index focuses more on the action while Railgun focuses more on the SoL/comedy. A lot of the blood and gore has been toned down for the anime (there are very graphic descriptions of injuries in the light novels), and Railgun S used scenery and mosaic censors for one instance of a limb being ripped off (this happens during one of the darker arcs).
Watching them in the order that they were released (there are two seasons for each series so far, or four in total) is probably best. Otherwise, you will experience drops in quality (they were animated several years apart from each other), among other things that I can't mention too much about without spoilers. You can potentially ruin the story of Railgun S without watching Index first, and the some of events in Railgun S can give a few scenes of Index III (if they're ever going to adapt it) a bigger impact.
Toradora was pretty enjoyable for me, and Cowboy Bebop apparently has a very good reputation. Another anime with similarities to Cowboy Bebop is Samurai Champloo, which I also enjoyed. Gurren Lagann is a mecha anime, and Highschool DxD is just a lot of boobies. Puella Magi Madoka Magica... it's not what you expect.
