SRV is my all-time fav guitarist, but certainly not the best bluesman.

BB King makes my spine tingle when he plays.

Honestly I don't think there's one single standout guy, but I think Lightnin Hopkins, Buddy Guy, BB King, Albert Collins, Junior Wells, Little Walter, Leadbelly, Howlin Wolf, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker, and most certainly Muddy Waters would have to be mentioned in the running.

Also it depends on how old you'll go back.. Guys like Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson were good, but it's pretty ancient music at this point, old low quality recordings, etc. It's hard to really judge.
