I like some older folk. Check out Simon & Garfunkel's "Old Friends" set for the ultimate collection from two of the greatest (in my opinion). Three discs of pure awesomeness, right there.
James Taylor is amazing. You can get a great overview from "The Best of James Taylor" - great CD.
Joni Mitchell does some amazing work. "Big Yellow Taxi" my favorite of all her stuff, but it's tough to go wrong with her in my opinion.
Oh, and I can't forget Janis Ian. "At Seventeen" is one of my favorite albums.
But I really dig new(er) acts, too.
I'd highly recommend Ani DiFranco is freaking amazing - check out "Canon," her two-CD greatest-hits collection. Her career's seen a lot of different approaches to music, with a huge variety of styles, so you're almost guaranteed to find *something* to love.
I'm also a big fan of Tracy Chapman (she was known for "Fast Car" in particular back in the 1990s, but does other, solid songs too); Suzanne Vega (she did "The Diner" - fantastic song); and Indigo Girls (can't think of any particular, well-known song off the top of my head, but a large chunk of their extensive discography is good stuff).

> Hand Picked: 25 Years of Bluegrass on Rounder Records - a really nice compilation that is priced really inexpensively
> Pink Moon by Nick Drake - shimmering folk pop from the '60's that was way ahead of its time
> Another Side of Bob Dylan - perhaps the best album from Dylan's folk period
> Bootleg Series Vol. 1-3 by Bob Dylan - an outstanding compilation including much of the best of Dylan's early folk
> Ladies of the Canyon by Joni Mitchell - a fantastic early Joni album with hints of the jazz/rock influence to come
> A Mighty Wind Soundtrack - although it is intended as a parody of folk, it is in fact a wonderful homage the the Kingston Trio, New Christy Minstrels, and the like
