I absolutely LOVE blues. Try getting into some BB King (The Thrill is Gone is his most popular), or John Lee Hooker. Those two are the best to get a "feel" for the genre. Then when you need more to fill that blues hunger, listen to some Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf. That should keep you busy for a while.
A lot of rock artists made their start in blues. Elvis, Eric Clapton (who is excellent by the way), Bob Seger, even Pink has a blues duet with Steven Tyler (from Aerosmith) named Misery.
It's an excellent genre. And the birthmusic of Rock.

Get any of the songs from the Blues Brothers. That's one of the greatest soundtracks ever!

Since I've Been Loving You, by Led Zeppelin. Or, anything off their first album, for that matter. Hard rockin' blues!
