If I restrict my answer to only those singer songwriters who play acoustic guitar I would say (in no particular order):
Jackson Browne James Taylor Eric Clapton Pete Townsend Keith Richards Lowell George George Harrison Paul McCartney John Lennon

A name that hasn't been mentioned here is Jimmie Spheeris. Solid acoustic player who worked with Richie Havens and who loved different guitar tunings.
I've also been inspired by Neil Finn, who besides being one of the best songwriters around, plays a real sweet acoustic. Check out his solo versions of some of his songs like Fall At Your Feet.

Was thinking about this very question the other day and think my influences come from everyone I've ever listened. With that said, I'd say the most influential have been Willie Nelson, Gordon Lightfoot, Steve Earle/Townes Van Zandt, Steve Goodman, Stephen Stills, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Mark Knopfler, Emmy Lou Harris and Bruce Springsteen.

There were three songs that I really loved because of the acoustic guitar. They were, in chronological order, "Leaves That are Green", "Helplessly Hoping" and "The Boxer". I used to wish I could play the guitar part for those songs. Now I can. Not note for note like the originals, but my way and I have fun playing those songs that meant so much to me.
With that in mind: Paul Simon Crosby, Stills and Nash These were my original influences and inspiration.
