Aww man where to start lol:

Manish Boy – Muddy Waters
Stormy Monday – T-Bone Walker
Spoonful – Willie Dixon
The Thrill Is Gone – B.B. King
Forty Four Blues – Roosevelt Sykes
Smokestack Lightnin – Howlin’ Wolf
I’m a King Bee – Slim Harpo
Hideaway – Freddie King
Ball and Chain – Big Mama Thornton
Frankie and Johnny- Big Bill Broonzy
Damn Right I Got the Blues- Buddy Guy
Earth Angel- Buddy Holly
I’m A Man- Bo Diddley

Start at the beginning. Robert Johnson, then go to something like Blind Lemon, T-Bone Walker, B.B. King, Howlin’ Wolf, Son House, hell Muddy Waters invented ‘lectricity.You might as well try the white boys too. Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Stevie Ray Vaughn. Jimmie Lee Vaughn, Ry Cooder. There’s even a girl or two out there worth listening to, Bonnie Raitt, Jennifer Batten. Don’t let Jenny’s hard rock credentials fool you, she’s a heck of a good blues player.
now if you really want to get into the blues you need to go back further…ROBERT JOHNSON, CHARLIE PATTON, and then you need to look onto all types of blues …..because there is a wide range of music out there in this genre
Willie Dixon
B.B. King
Muddy Waters
Buddy Guy
Howlin’ Wolf
Elmore James
Lightnin’ Hopkins
Junior Wells
Eddie ‘Cleanhead’ Vinson
Etta James
Koko Taylor
Albert Collins
Albert King
Luther Allison
John Mayall
T-Bone Walker
Muddy Waters, BB King, Sam Lightnin´ Hopkins, The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Jimmie Vaughan era).
Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington.
Recently I heard Becky Barksfield and I want to recommend her too.
check out The Black Keys… its a blues duo out of Akron. It is very guitar heavy but it keeps a bluesy feel. Everybody tells me that the guitar riffs are very Tony Iommi-esque.
the others answerers named some good artists.
i just wanted to add charlie musselwhite, mississippi john hurt, sonny boy williamson, little walter, and taj mahal.
Take all the recommendations and go to Youtube.
Put faces to the music.

So far, I have found Howlin’ Wolf to be pretty consistently good stuff.
I’d also recommend John Lee Hooker.
