This is a fun thread, lots of great artists listed already that I listen to all the time (ABB, TTB, dTb, Cream, Howlin' Wolf, etc.), but here's some of my all-time faves that you guys who like Jazz, acoustic Blues and Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar might want to check out:
Buena Vista Social Club (with Ry Cooder and Eliades Ochoa)
Mongo Santamaria and his band (circa 1970)
Gabby Pahinui Hawaiian Band (with Ry Cooder and Sonny Chillingworth) (1974-1978)
Wes Montgomery & Jimmy Smith (circa 1965)
Led Kaapana with Mike Kaawa (2010- )
Tito Puente and his band (1960s-1990s)
John Fahey (solo or with anyone else) (1959-1985)
RL Burnside (with Cedric and Kenny) (1990s-2001)
Sco-Mule (Gov't Mule with Allen Woody, John Scofield and Dr. Dan- circa 1999)
Hot Tuna (acoustic) (1969- )
In the order I discovered them:
Rolling Stones
Jimi Hendrix
Cream
Jeff Beck
ABB

SRV
The Meters
Sonny Landreth
Gov't Mule

Some combination of Beatles, Dylan, The Band, Dead, Stones, Derek & Dominos, Jimi, Wilco, Radiohead, Panic, The National would round out the rest.
