Heinlein
Asimov
Blish
Anderson
Heinlein
The future history series and generation ship ideas;
twelve Scribner Juveniles;
controversy (Starship Troopers);
not time travel in general but certainly the circular causality paradox.
Asimov
Robotics - embedded in an implausible future history series.
Blish
Divergent future history series;
a theological trilogy.
Anderson
Several future history series;
every aspect of time travel (successor of Twain, Wells and de Camp);
twentieth century culminations of themes from Mary Shelley, HG Wells, Olaf Stapledon and Robert Heinlein.
(When I get tired of summarizing this literary history, I'll tell y'all.)

Kaor, Paul!
I agree on what you said about HABA. Unfortunately, when most SF fans and commentators think about what they regard as the most prominent authors nurtured by Campbell, they think only of Heinlein, Asimov, and Clarke. And usually ignore Blish and Anderson.
I no longer consider myself a fan of Asimov, but I would have stressed that the "pyschohistory" of his FOUNDATION stories is what he is best known for in science fiction. But his robot stories also come next!

Sean,
Did Campbell nurture Clarke?
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
I would say, yes, Clarke was nurtured by Campbell. His first professional SF sales, "Loophole" and "Rescue Party," pub. by Campbell in ASTOUNDING in 1946. Also, when I looked up Clarke in THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION, the article's discussion of Clarke's memoir ASTOUNDING DAYS (1989) made it plain Clarke remembered his association with Campbell affectionately.
