Someone has to mention Lindsey Buckingham!  
Definitely not the best of the best, but he deserves to be on the list! he has a very unique finger-picking style that has been copied by many!  
Also on my list would be  
Eric Clapton  
Jimi Hendrix  
Jimmy Page  
Brian May  
Peter Green  
Lots of others, but I wanted to get Lindsey on the list!
