Can anyone recommend some decent ones to listen to out of that list?

The Essential Bach List (according to my personal taste):

The Well Tempered Clavier Book I (Prelude and Fugue in C Major)
The Well Tempered Clavier Book II (Prelude and Fugue in A minor)
St Matthew Passion or Mass in B minor
Toccata and Fugue
Orchestral Suite No 3 in D
Concerto for Two Violins
Goldberg Variations (Aria)
Any of the Brandenberg Concertos, though Number 2 is my personal favourite they are all great.
Cello Suite No. 1 in G major
The cantata called "Nunn komm der heiden heiland"

And that will put you in good stead.
If I had to shorten that list to three that you should start with...

Toccata and Fugue
Concerto for Two Violins
Orchestral Suite No 3 in D (Air, the slow movement)
