Drupal 7 Top 10 Modules

Views
Create lists, tables, and feeds of content. This can be nodes, comments, users, or entities of any type.

Token
Use generic placeholders to display dynamic data. Token is usually installed as a dependency for another
module.

Pathauto
Automatically create search engine-friendly, human-readable URLs based on customizable patterns. An example URL alias is http://drupal.org/project/pathauto.

Administration Menu
Provides a horizontal, drop-down style administration menu at the top of each page, with links to all major administrative tasks.

Date
Creates a flexible date/time field and provides an API for other modules to use.

Google Analytics
Adds the Google Analytics web statistics tracking system to your site.

wysiwyg
Wysiwyg (What You See Is What You Get) provides a word processor-style content editor in the browser, similar to the interface of popular office applications like LibreOffice or Microsoft Office.

Webform
Create custom input forms for surveys, contest entry forms, contact forms, petitions and the like.

Chaos tool suite
Provides APIs and tools. This module is generally installed as a dependency of other modules.

Panels
The Panels module allows a site administrator to create customized layouts for multiple uses. At its core it is a drag and drop content manager that lets you visually design a layout and place content within that layout. Integration with other systems allows you to create nodes that use this, landing pages that use this, and even override system pages such as taxonomy and the node page so that you can customize the layout of your site with very fine grained permissions.
