I can't believe nobody has mentioned Swept Away, by far and away one of the best climbs in J-Tree. It is hard to keep it to just five but here it goes.
Swept Away
Wanger Banger
Figures in a Landscape
EBGB's
Street Car
Walk on the Wild Side

There are too many routes in Josh to narrow a list of favorites to only 5. But the above stated sentiment of long hikes, remote locations, solitude and great scenery (and good routes) being top criteria echo my feelings too. It is the entire experience.
Some favorites include:
Mohave Queen
White Rain
Black Diamond
Spirited Away
Firewater Chimney
Such A Savage
Figures on a Landscape
Black President
The Poodle Smasher
Coarse and Buggy
Leave It To Beaver
Illusion Dweller
Hidden Arch
Catapult
Natural Selection
Where Have All the Cowboys Gone

Find a climb with a few stars and at the hairy edge of your onsight limit and it will become the best climb in JTree for you.

For moderates:
Sail Away - classic crack
Mental Physics (worth the walk)
Walk on the Wild Side (classic slab)
Headstone SW corner(lots of adrenaline for a 5.6 and a great view at the top)
Dappled Mare - not many long climbs at One Pitch Wonderland, this is another superclassic
