You win this one captain planet
BUT THIS ISN'T THE LAST YOU'LL BE SEEING OF ME ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR
and you and pig can keep quiet unless you're saying this face-to-face after just shy of 22 standard drinks on top of 2 courses of (admittedly delicious) seafood
and then we'll see if you can clean up after yourself ;)

Sonny Terry,
Blind Lemon Jefferson,
Earl Fatha Heines,
Reverend Gary Davis for good Delta and Chicago Blues.
I was actually interested in seeing what you had to say on this one. I know Blind Lemon (and have heard of Big Bill Broonzy), but I'm going to keep my eyes open for the rest of these.

Second the Howlin' Wolf Chess Box - I just downloaded some of it (though there seems to be many different versions), and it's fantastic.
Next up: Muddy Waters.

There are many from the 1920's and 30's. In the 1940's-60's the genre began to change somewhat.
Early Delta Blues, then Chicago Blues (W.C.Handy and "city" Blues). There were great female performers, mostly singers and jazz stylists. The men favored the instruments.
Bessie Smith, Big MaMa Thornton, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday come to mind.
On horns there was Louie Armstrong, Dizzy Gillespe, and later Al Hirt. Dixieland blues gave us Kid Ory on trombone and a handful of others.
Fats Waller with great stride piano, Oscar Peterson, Jelly Roll Morton, and on and on.
The list of blues greats who inspired most, if not all, of todays guitarists and singers would fill pages.
Clapton, Keb Mo, Ry Cooder, Dick Rosamini and nearly everybody else was affected by Robert Johnson and the others of his era.

Bukka White, Son House, Robert Johnson, Sonny Terry, The Three Kings (Albert King, Freddie King, B.B. King), The Two Hookers (John Lee Hooker, Earl Hooker), Hound Dog Taylor, Big Walter (aka Mumbles) Horton, Muddy Waters, T. Bone Walker, Howlin Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Sonny Boy Williamson, Bobby Blue Bland, Buddy Guy, Bo Diddley, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughan, and a bunch of swing/jump blues folks I can't think of at the moment for some stupid reason.
