Blues "must have, top 100" list?


Anyone know of any "must have, top 100" type blues lists?
I just worked my way through a similar Jazz list, and found some incredible tunes.

Thanks,

Ed

Here are some of my favorites, and you'll note I'm partial to acoustic blues:

Lightnin' Hopkins: Goin' Away (Bluesville 1073, Analogue Prod reissue)
JB Lenoir: Alabama Blues (L&R Record 42.001)
Sonny Boy Williamson: Keep It To Ourselves (Alligator AL 4787)
Sonny Boy Williamson: The Real Folk Blues (Chess 1503 Speakers Corner reissue)
Robert Lucas: Usin' Man Blues (Audioquest 1001)
John Lee Hooker: Sings the Blues/ThatÂ’s my story (Riverside OBC-538 Analogue Prod reissue)
Willie Dixon: The Blues Every Which Way (Verve V6-3007 Speakers Corner reissue)
Muddy Waters: Sings Big Bill Broonzy
Muddy Waters: Folk Singer
.
I also like the Bluenose's recommendation of Philadelphia Jerry Ricks "Empty Bottle Blues": nice album.

Ivyinvestor, here's a link to the Willie Dixon: The Blues Every Which Way LP:
