Any Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Palace of the King and i like Lowdown by Freddie King. Freddie was the inspiration for many of the current blues guys, including Clapton.

Muddy Waters, Guitar Slim, Big Bill Broonzy, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson, the three Kings - Albert, Freddy, and B.B., Elmore James, T-Bone Walker, Albert Collins, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Howlin' Wolf, Eric Clapton, SRV, those are almost always on constant rotation in my playlists. Duke Robillard is also pretty good, Earl Hooker, and Fruteland Jackson.

Had the opportunity to see him live for the first time a few months ago, was one of the BEST live shows I have ever been to!
I am def. going to see him in the future!
Also, my fav. band ever, Gov't Mule (www.mule.net) has some blusey stuff as well, but are more of a southern rock band.

Just about any version of Death Letter is great. It's a Son House song that's been redone by Derek Trucks, White Stripes, and even John MellenCougarCamp. Great slide guitar if you like that stuff.
Old World from Clapton (with Duane playing slide)
Old Friend from the Allmans.
Whoa Back Buck from Leadbelly is one of my favorites.
RL Burnside dooes some crazy stuff, but it's not for everyone.
Tough to tell what people mean by the blues, could be the old raspy accoustic stuff, polished Clapton/BB King stuff, raunchy rock stuff like the Black Keys, the SRV style like Double Trouble, Doyle Bramhall. I dig it all especially good slide work.
