While I agree with many of the above. There are a few so far that have not been mentioned:

Bert Jansch (Dazzling Stranger)
Catfish Keith (A Fist Full Of Riffs)
Dave Evans (Sad Pig Dance) one of my all time favorites
David Bromberg (Try Me One More Time)
Davy Graham (Folk Blues and Beyond)
Jorma Kaukonen (Quah to begin with) and the duo Hot Tuna
Jack Rose (Kensington Blues & Luck in the Valley)
Pink Anderson
Richard Thompson (Acoustic Classics)
Roy Book Binder ( Live at the Fur Peace Station)
Ry Cooder
Taj Majal (Starting with the 1969 release Giant Step)

For the twelve strung out among us:
Blind Willie McTell (Atlanta Twelve Sting)
Paul Geremia

Any thread like this that doesn't have our own Toby Walker on the first page is, well, dreadfully incomplete. So, I stopped reading after page one, and decided to post. Let's make sure that the following are mentioned, or are repeated:

Eric Skye
Jorma Kaukonen
Jim Steinke
Brooks Williams
Leo Kottke

No mention of Preston Reed yet, nor Kaki King - severely lacking in a list to not include the top two percussive fingerstylists. Most of my favourites are already here, but I'll also add Vicki Genfan, Jimmy Wahlsteen, Pierre Bensusan, Jon Gomm, Martin Carthy, John Renbourne. Thomas Leeb, Ewan Dobson, James Blackshaw, Trevor Gordon Hall, Doug Smith and Dave Evans.
