Google lists their mosts searched keywords at the Zeitgeist website. You can also search for top keywords by country.
Yahoo also has its own version but it looks like a blog rather than a list, they call it Yahoo Buzz.
Lycos also has its own list here.
ZDNet has an interesting list of keywords here, so much for those top celebrities..
If you can afford WordTracker, its much better if we search from there. However, they also have a list of top searched keywords online.
We could also search for most searched keywords at Ask.com from here.
For top keywords you can also use these tools:
Google Free via their AdWords program. Do not give search counts, but provide a search volume bar, just like the Page Rank bar.
Overture Free but can have over inflated search counts.
KeywordDiscovery - Keyword Research Tool like wordtracker - but with lots more features and has a free trial.

Hey there everyone,
Just thought I would pop in here and
share real quick.
All the thoughts, tools and ideas
presented are absolutely terrific.
There is just ONE big huge gaping
hole with all the free keyword tools
that services have created to fill
the void of the disappearance and
then reappearance of the Overture tool.
And that is . . . (drum roll please)
Every single FREE keyword tool has
NO capability of saving your keywords
in a basket and managing your projects.
Well -- since July of 1994,
NicheBOTclassic.com has been
providing its constantly growing
userbase (currently 13,847 users)
the ability to save their keyword
searches that are done for free. ;o)
I know -- it's okay to feel your
heart pitter-patter and get excited
like a kid in a candy story.
And I'm sure you would agree...
That's not only what I call
"useful" -- but I call that a
solution!
Plus -- you also get access to
the Overture tool (while it's
still alive) at...
=====> NicheBOTclassic.com
You ALSO get to save your
Overture searches. Again, that's
only until the Overture tool is
taken off the digital shelf.
You can easily create an account
right here:

Time to manage your FREE keyword
searches better, don't ya think? ;o)
And don't be surprised if you find your-
self telling your friends and business
acquaintances about this clearly
useful and superior resource.
Best wishes,
Stu Miles, Strategic Partner Coordinator

P.S. If you ever have any questions
that I, or my team, can handle, please

Don't forget also there's Google Hot Trends where you can find the top searches by the hour.
I use that one a lot and you can find keywords for brand new searches that have minimal competition.
I found this great adwords tool KeywordSpy.com . I'm using it and it has really improved my profits. It offers Free trials.- http://www.keywordspy.com/
