Foobar AND VLC in the top 3? That's almost excessive ;)

If I have to choose between the two, I'd go for VLC.
No more so than listing a web browser and email client, IMO. FB2K is a music player, with a UI tailored towards playing and managing audio. VLC would be annoying to use as a replacement for it, despite being able to play back the same files.

FB2K
VLC
FF or Chrome
7-zip
PuTTY

these are the first three that go on any system I install or re-install windows on. Sometimes, they are up and running before I have all the drivers finished...

7zip
VLC
Browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc.)

1. The one I sell for a living
2. Dolphin (not exclusive to Windows, but runs best on there)
3. CPU-Z
