In no particular order (and ask me again tomorrow and it may change):
Sonic Youth
Minutemen
Meat Puppets
God Is My Co-pilot
Steve Albini (Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac)
Butthole Surfers
Pere Ubu
Arthur Russell (various bands & solo)
Bikini Kill
The Gun Club
Predictable I know, but honest.
Black Flag, Husker Du, and many others didn't make it because, although they made some of the best music of the last 25 years, they made some very bad music also.
