If you have an hour or so, you can read through the little discussions on the following list of the 100 best episodes. It is excellent, brings back a ton of memories, doesn't omit as many as I thought (but still omits two of my favorites ("King Size Homer" and "The City of New York Versus Homer Simpson")), has an episode from 1997 as the newest on the list (S9:E5, "The Cartridge Family") and has the main episode I've seen multiple times before in the top spot as Numero Uno.
The make a good point before they got started with the lists, to wit (and to paraphrase): If you want to make a list of the 100 best Simpsons episodes ever, you could take every other episode starting from the first and going all the way to 200, and either 100 would be better than entire runs of plenty of television shows.
