I settled on two, I don't really need a lot of knots but wanted to do better than the overhand. Anyway the two I settled on were "putting a loop in the end of a rope" The bowline. and "tying something down on my truck" The Truckers hitch. There are many great knots out there but I figure between these two that is about 90 percent of my knot tying needs.

Beware the truckers hitch, it is not a real knot so should be secured by one. But super handy for making a line nice and tight. The one I picked up is this over complicated version that has the nice property that it is in-line, that is, you don't need the far end of the rope for it to work.
