I'll take the US on this one, although I'm quite enamored with a large amount of UK acts as well. (Queen, Bowie, Sex Pistols, Beatles, Sarah Brightman, The Who, Pink Floyd...)
The U.S., however...
Bob Dylan
The Grateful Dead
Frank Zappa
Trey Anastasio / Phish
Elliott Smith
Bright Eyes
Waylon Jennings
Bruce Springsteen
Bonnie Prince Billy / Will Oldham
Tom Waits
Steve Earle
Johnny Cash
Townes Van Zandt
Regina Spektor (I'll claim her as a U.S. act since she mostly grew up here)
DoseOne
Busdriver....
The list goes on and on.
Oh, I'll have to give Canada some props, too.
