I'm guessing a fair few people have already mentioned these - but I'm too tired to read all the other posts (awful, I know!), but:
Phill Niblock
LaMonte Young (those two were big pioneers in drone)
Earth (Dylan Carlson is a genius. Most people seem to prefer Earth 2, but personally I rate Broken Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitars, especially the first track).

For more Sonic Youth orientated stuff try:
Lee Ranaldo's 'Amarillo Ramp' for Robert Smithson album - the title track is 30 minutes of beautiful noise.
Also, Jim O'Rourke has a few good ones - mostly recently you should check out Mizu No Nai Umi on the Headz label. That's pretty special.
