I like DeChirico. As was one of the originators he doesn't look too whacky and out there compared to the sexy gang abive, but without De Chirico it may not have been the same.
Also, populist and exploited commercially until it all looks like an ad campaign for a building society, but Rene Magritte was pretty fucking cool.

Mainly known as illustrators... Thom Ang, Phil Hale, Dave McKean & Kent Williams work has a tendency to fall into the surreal.

Also, Joel Peter Witkin, as per the other thread (about gory horrific imagery)

His presence on the internet is almost non existent, but English artist Kitt Williams is amazing. His paintings are incredible, as are his illustrated conundrum books, but whats most incredible are his kinetic mechanical surreal sculptures. I can never find much of anything about him the net but have a lot of his books and anthologies.
A few crappy pics of some of his public art here...
