Jeez! Page 6 before Ernst Haas showed up. He would be high on my list, But if I had to pick one it would be Pete Turner. Back in the day I admired (and still do) the usual b&w suspects, but Pete opened my eyes to color.

Robert Doisneau

Jaroslav Rossler, probably the very first avantgarde photographer:

I dont think that anyone was taking pictures like these in 1923:

Not sure if anyone has mentioned here yet--just skimming--but Elinor Carucci is very good. An up-and-coming photographer. Not street photography--something more akin to portraiture and perhaps Nan Goldin, who is also of interest. http://www.elinorcarucci.com/

Other than that there are too many to mention and I'm sure everyone has seen Winogrand, Frank, et al.

Good find! I like it a lot!
Other than that, Eggleston, Curry and are defiantly Jane Hilton are up there for me.

The obvious of course; Cartier-Bresson, Salgado, Nachtwey. Hollands most famous:Anton Corbijn.
And last but not least, the godfather and 'enfant terrible' of Dutch street-photography, Ed van der Elsken.

Ola Rindal is up there on my list.

Jonas Bendiksen. Satellites is the best book I've seen produced in the last years.
Also, Sally Mann, for her children portraits...where size does matter.
