Here's a few 'top ten'-type articles you could raid.

http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/1995_articles/dec95/10greatsynths.html
http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/the-10-greatest-synthesizers-of-all-ti me-224433
http://www.sonicstate.com/top20/

Music Radar has:

Minimoog
VCS3
Prophet 5
PPG Wave
ARP2600
DX7
Wavestation
CS80
JD-800
Oberheim OBXa

SOS has:

ARP2600
Casio CZ101
VCS3
Korg M1
Wavestation
Prodigy
Oberheim OB8
Oscar
Roland D50
DX7

"Made an impact" is vague enough that you can just pick your favourites from the famous.


Quote:

I dont really have any knowledge of synths, and find it hard to get motivated about them



But synths are ace!


Quote:

Your research should include examples of analogue, digital and software synthesizers and you should also make sure that they include examples of additive, subtractive, frequency modulation amplitude modulation, wavetable and granular synthesis.



I like:

Wavetable - PPG
FM - DX100
Additive - Synclavier
Subtractive - Minimoog
Granular - Maelstrom
