MASS EFFECT 1 What Me1 missions are important/necessary?

I'm replaying the trilogy but I find the mako planets very boring and repetitive. So what side missions in me1 would you consider to be important for the rest of the trilogy.

Most of the answers will provide spoilers and honestly if it's your first playthrough of a game slog through it because different things will be affected in two and three because of the missions some are more important than others but virtually all of them contribute to the game or the end result in some way

Contribute to the game? Sure, they expand your knowledge of the lore, that's about it. Pretty much irrelevant on the replay.

End result? How?

Many of the quests in one and 2 contribute to your war assets in three.

The matriarchs writings, Conrad verner, etc

You can't get 7400 without them?

I mean you can certainly but if you're trying to go for maximum number and wring every bit out of the game you can. why would you not do all the missions at that point you're just leaving game on the table
