For me it's Spencer Seim. His stuff in Hella blows me away. It's very creative, expressive and no bullshit IMO.

Spencer is super rad. Within the same circle, there's Carson McWhirter.
I'll post others later when I think of em.

I always liked Junior Brown...he could do some neat things with standards and other people's songs:

Don Rich (can't really find some of his really neat stuff...but he did some crazy riffing and soloing going weird places)

Olga (even though he is kinda doing a chuck berry thing)

Chuck Berry (speaking of which)

I will think of some more I am sure.

Feel like most of the times I've tried to write something on a guitar in the last decade has been a futile attempt to mimic what's going on in these two records in some way.

This guy plays with Tom Waits a bunch. I like how off kilter his rhythm is.

That dude from Morphine was cool. 2 string fretless bass played with a slide most of the time.

Ya, he has a cool style too. His stuff with Zach Hill is also good.

The dude from This Town Needs Guns. More skilled than creative but still good with no or almost none fx.

Also obligatory: El Hefe.

1994!

Literally, that's the band's name. 1994, with an exclamation point.

Early-mid Loma Prieta when they weren't really using any effects.

And Ian too, Minor Threat and Fugazi was all about, "Let's see what we can do with just SGs and Marshalls."
To create a tremolo effect of sorts Ian would get his guitar feeding back and swing his body back and forth against the amp.

Pete Townshend did use a Super Fuzz for some solos, but his '60s and '70s live stuff mostly fits this category (and he's certainly the originator of the SG and Marshall really loud thing I just mentioned).
