Although personally I don't much like his work, try Martin Parr
Henri Cartier - Bresson and Lee Friedlander

Robert Mapplethorpe (link contains nudity) For absolutely perfect photographs. Controversial as he was, you may or may not agree with what he did, but once you overcome that prejudice and try to appreciate art for what it is, it is impossible to not find beauty in his images.
Julia Margaret Cameron For doing in 1864 what took others a century to learn.
And of course, Henri Cartier Bresson. He was a master.

Just a little and it showed in her work...
It certainly showed in her work
Just a little? ...... you are having a laugh
Very interesting images, some downright creepy, especially the ones taken in the mental Institution.

Also Joel Meyerowitz, need more. Thanks though
Julia Margaret Cameron
My favourite is sadness. The subject; Ellen Terry was a 16 year old actress married to a man much older than herself. The sadness is penetrating.
ostracised by her contemporaries for lack of technical correctness even back in the 1860s....but she was determined to make a poet out of the dumb machine...boy did she succeed.

Amazing, isn't it? Everyone I tell that picture was taken in 1864 cannot believe it. It dumfounds me to think of the reaction of the people of the time towards that picture, specially since you compare it to her contemporaries like Nadar who were pretty much emulating painted portraits.
Considering I'm young(not really into most of the older guys mentioned here) and do mostly sports:
Brad Mangin-Great Baseball Photographer who covers Barry Bonds, Freelances for SI.
http://www.bradmangin.com/
Donald Miralle-Getty Images staffer, featured in SI all the time, I've seen many of his images in the "Leading Off" Section which is the part with full page and double trucks. Simply the best swimming photographer I have ever seen, very creative without being too artsy for editorial. His website doesn;t seem to be up now, here is his sportsshooter page:

I like some of the more "unique" photographers. Paige Deponte comes to mind. This book is outright inspirational

Yes the twins are a tad creepy, but nowhere as creepy as the series she took in the mental institution.Creepy? like this one?
My favourite shows 5 females standing in a row, each wearing identical (hospital) nightdresses. All have a paper bag with eye holes torn out over their heads.
I had a quick search on Google but couldn't find this particular one, but here's another from this series. It's a bit creepy too !!

I never said I didn't have any favorites. Just 50 is a big list, and it's always nice to find some I haven't heard of.
I'm in the same boat! I have the Think different picture framed of Ansel Adams (as well as MLK Jr. and Jackie Robinson, but I want to get more!)
Also, I always love looking at the fantastic shots of freebooter from this forum.
