I have a great many recommendations! A lot of them aren't in print any more, although can generally be acquired second-hand.
My personal favourite of all of hers is When the Lights Go Out. It's a bit surreal sometimes but that's really why I love it, it's a beautiful odd book and one I've read again and again. A slightly less odd set but more children's booky (you may or may not like that) are the Claidi Chronicles - Wolf Tower (or Law of Wolf Tower), Wolf Star, Queen of the Wolves and Wolf Wing. I loved them, they were how I first got into Tanith Lee in the first place. If you like a sci-fi romance, Silver Metal Lover is really quite interesting and rather sweet. The Flat Earth Series (Night's Master, Death's Master, Delusion's Master, Delerium's Mistress and Night's Sorceries) were really gorgeous, very evocative and fairy-story like. Her sci-fi short story anthology Space is Just a Starry Night was quite lovely (and I was so pleased that I only got it after I understood the Blake's 7 reference too!)
But basically, I've liked almost everything that I've read by her (not Storm Lord. That was horrid.) I think she's wonderful. :)
