Are there any hardcore blues fans on /mu/ at all?
What the hell is blues?
Most of the good blues were before albums. Just get a compilation

Pretty much anything by Joe Bonamassa. Get some old Robert Johnson compilations. You could also look into small Memphis Blues Bands like the Patrick Dodd Trio.

Texas Flood by Stevie Ray Vaughan,
I'm gonna get shit for this, but Hozier's debut is actually really good imo (if you want a recent album), he's a great musician.
That album is just full of great tracks.

This.
Anything by muddy waters and Rory Gallagher is bueno as well imo
Electric blues really is the worst genre, shitting all over classic blues with their awful self-indulgent noodling.

Get the jimi hendrix "Blues" compilation album.
Anything by muddy waters, robert Johnson, Lightnin Hopkins, son house, howlin wolf and buddy guy is good
Compilation albums like what the other anon stated are great for specific artist are good
