Billy M.'s list seems like a good one.  Let me add in:

# St. Paul--without him, the Christian religion would probably still be a splinter sect of Judaism.
 +
# Charles Darwin

# Adolf Hitler (You didn't say GOOD, just influential.)
 +
# Karl Marx
 +
# Abraham Lincoln, whose election catalyzed the Civil War, and finally abolished slavery in the United States.
 +
# Rupert Murdoch, without whom Bush would never be president.
 +
# George W. Bush

# Osama Bin Laden: did more damage to the USA with boxcutters than the Soviet Union could ever have done with nukes.
 +
# Bill Gates:  For bringing computing to the masses.  Buggy, inferior computing, but computing nonetheless.
 +
# Tim Berners-Lee: for thinking up the World-Wide Web, the biggest advance in communication since the telephone.
 +
# Gutenberg, for the other biggest advance.
 +
# Tom Paine, for writing Common Sense.
 +
# Adam Smith, who, much like Jesus, is invoked the loudest by those who haven't really read him.
