Interesting and challenging topic.
As others have observed, the hard part is narrowing it down to five. Anybody can make great speakers for $20,000, right? So all you "five more" guys are a bunch of cheaters.
The spirit of the original question included not only "top" but also "ability", "fun" and - most importantly - "favorite". So, we're not really looking for "most influential" here.
It's freaky how we're all stuck in roughly the same period.

Great listings, everyone. Your comments certainly motivated me to revisit some tunes I haven't heard in a while.
