Hooker runs a tight second, but only when he's playing solo.

re: favorite blues artist of all time!
My personal favorites:
Elmore James
T-bone Walker
B.B. King (he ain't "King of the Blues" for nothin'!)
Buddy Guy
Robert Lockwood, Jr. (he learned a few things as a boy when his mother lived with Robert Johnson)


While not considered primarily blues artists, these guys could play the blues too!
Clapton
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Allman Brothers (when Duane and Berry were still alive, and Dickie was still a Brother)
Johnny Winter
ZZ Top (before the drum machines and synths)
