Well, I'm gonna have to say Office, with special mention to Word. But, then again, Safari is pretty cool too. 
On second thought, can you count OSX as an app?

iTunes
Has influenced my lifestyle more than anything else ever on a computer.
No iTunes, no iPod and we'd all be using some convoluted UI on our mp3 players (like WiMP on a iRiver!? - eugh)
Even Pro's have to admit this is probably the best lifestyle app ever.
(I think there should've been 2 categories: Lifestyle and Proffesional)
Photoshop has to be one of the most influential Pro apps of all times too. And the fact that it can be picked up by me, even at release 7, is a testament to how good it is.
Damn it feels good to be a Mac user!

I love iMovie. It's so simple, but it still makes high quality videos in a short period of time.
Well, you didn't say we couldn't list games , so I'm going to say Marathon. I feel that at the time it was as important in separating the Mac OS from Windows as any other application listed here. If you won't accept games, than I'd have to say Forge or Anvil .
.Well, for pre-1990 Macs, Theorist (see an old ad for it here) was the application that I thought was simply unbelievable... and back then it was Mac only.
Photoshop (specially pre-2.5 when it was Mac only) and PageMaker really set the Mac apart from anything else you could get and set the stage for Macs being creative tools.
Today my favorite app is Stone Designs Create. It covers both the illustration and page layout areas that I need, and helps out with web design stuff. But no matter how much I use and love it in Mac OS X, Create is the productivity app for my Rhapsody systems (and even my OPENSTEP systems for that matter). Stone Design even let me put the Create 5 for Rhapsody manual on my Rhapsody site.

Stickies, I think that is the best app made. I tried to look for one for windows, cause I have things I need to remember when I get on my computer. Its one of the oldest Mac apps (not THE oldest) and still one of the best. I was all freaked out the other month (lol), cause I thought Panther didn't have Stickies.

I remember USING that program.... and didn't know how it worked. I do remember once attempting to get even more RAM by running it again and again and again and again...
The good old days, when 640k of RAM was good enough for anyone...And yes, I did just blend the x86 world with the 680x0 world....
