Well, nowadays webdesign is going the wrong way... most layouts just aren't good anymore... however, there are still some sites left. There was an awesome one i couldn't remember, but the best off the top of my head is www.db-s.net (enter the site). It's got all - simplicity, proper code, good colour scheme, etc.
Anyway, here's what i think a good layout should have:
1) Pleasant colour scheme.
2) Small size (not image-instense and expecially not GIF animations). Maybe a little flash, but not quite as much as macromedia.com
3) Proper code - when i open the source i want to understand with one look where everything is. I consider myself good at HTML, JS, and the like and when i can't understand the code, it's usually too full of garbage (like FrontPage-made sites).
4) Adaptable - layout must adapt to any resolution. That's where the w3schools design fails.
5) Proper alignment - there are some basic alignment schemes and a site shouldn't stray off too much.
6) Flexibility - a design must be easy to manipulate so you can easily place a banner or whatever. Stylesheets are recommended for this.
This site: http://www.templateshouse.com/html_templates/ is fairly good.
Also, i think designs should have originality, but it isn't a crime if they don't. I mean, half the websites with the 'good' design use a light-blue theme, like this board, or maybe a gray one. Being original is nice.
Anyway, enough ranting for now, maybe if i find a site with really 1337 design i'll post it.

Macromedia.
The others have too much crap on the main page to see any one thing.
Too much overlap and transparency used.
I did like sony till all the drop downs started appearing all over.

While those sites are pretty to look at, I can't seem to force myself to believe that the load time is worth it. Damnit, if I go to a site, I don't want to stare at a pretty "Loading..." animation for 30 seconds... and I'm on cable!
