Ginsberg by reputation and his influence on subsequent generations of poets. FWIW, Burroughs said he wasn't part of the Beat Movement, but just a mentor to Ginsberg. I know he's often categorized as Beat, but it riled him.
Among my other Beat favorites is Gregory Corso: "Bomb" and "Gasoline" are among the top 5 poems of the Beat Generation in my opinion.
Dig, daddy?

Think kesey was similar....sonewhere between a beatnik and a hippie. Never read corso, will have to check him out

Jack Kerouac, though he came to loath the people who followed him.

If Kerouac isn't nominated... this thread is a sham.

Sorry, but
Thompson came into the public's eye almost a decade after the height of the Beat Movement. However, in asserting that HST was a great and influential writer, you are entirely correct.
