Others to include in a blues/rock vein:
Earl Hooker, J.B. Hutto, Hound Dog Taylor, Lil' Ed, Sonny Landreth & Johnny Winter.

I second the emotion and nominate Bonnie Raitt as another great slide guitarist

If he's fair game, then how about Robert Randolph?

Warren Haynes is the best slide player i've ever seen. If you're going to throw in pedal steel, then it's definitely Buddy Cage.
