Your heresy is shining!
I have accumulated all of LOGH in my archives, but I haven't started watching it yet because I'm actually intimidated by its length. I have zero doubt that LOGH is phenomenal though.
We should probably add Gungrave to this thread all things considered.

Old school classics. I'm not much into 70s stuff, but there are great works from every decade.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Crest of the Stars
Banner of the Stars
Jin-Roh
Captain Harlock
Honneamise no Tsubasa
A Wind Named Amnesia
Super Dimension Fortress Macross
As a relatively new medium, anime has a lot of newer classics too. I think these will be remembered as classics of the new century.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Mushi-shi
Steins;Gate
Welcome to the NHK
Fullmetal Alchemist
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

The only bad thing about it, is after watching it you might be unable to enjoy any other anime because they suck in comparison. Even the good ones.
it would be better if it had aliens or robots or something, why did they think it was a good idea to make a space battle show and have all of the cast be humans?

I submit:
Trigun and Cowboy Bebop.
The problem I have with Trigun and a lot of anime is they make them before the manga is complete and really massacre the ending once they run out of material. Sometimes it works if the manga ends up being really stupid but more often than not the stuff they come up with doesn't fit very well with the intended concept. Trigun was still a fun show though. The ending didn't feel wrong so much as it felt rushed and anti-climactic.
I'd love to see the rest of the manga animated though I feel that way about a lot of things. I'd pay anything to see the Getter Robo Go manga animated for real instead of the in-name-only kids show they made it into in the 80's.

I'd +1 you if RB had a rep system. Anyway we already have an anime topic where vintage stuff gets mentioned every now and then.

Even space operas have deeply humanistic themes. LotGH delves into essential topics with much grace and tact. Yang Wen-li is among my all-time favourite fictitious characters, and I was

Oh god no. One of many reasons the series is awesome is exactly because the cast is all humans. There's no silly aliens going "grarr we want to take over the universe" and any visual design for extraterrestrials will look dated sooner or later anyway. The show is great because it's people fighting for their government, their beliefs, their friends, or just themselves. People like us, not some hairy green four-armed things.
The sci-fi setting is just that, a setting. It's not the main point, I don't think there's a single situation in the series where a problem was resolved by somebody having a more advanced starfighter or by Jedi tricks or by any technological means. The show is about the people, their choices and the consequences of those choices.
Awesome-looking space battles are just the tip of the iceberg.
