Here is a list from The Times of London. I would add Felix Salmon, Paul Krugman, Arnold Kling, calculatedrisk, Dealbreaker, Brad DeLong, Naked Capitalist, and others.
I thank Mark Brady for the pointer.
Top ten blogs to read during the banking crisis

Do you mean ‘Naked Capitalism’?
I like Tyler’s list. Oliver Kamm the world can do without reading. It’s like reading Anne Coulter or Michael Moore.
Most of the blogs Mr. Cowen names are too partisan to be useful. (Maybe by now Paul Krugman knows what a carried interest is, or that Fannie Mae wasn’t a competitor of Countrywide, but I doubt that he really understands the financial markets.) I would add acrossthecurve.
You forgot “Across the Curve”, essential reading on understanding the underlying flights to quality.
Winterspeak has been posting a lot more since the crisis began.
Had to give up on DeLong when the ratio of partisan hackery to economics got to be totally overwhelming. It’s a shame, but it’ll probably be safe to go back after Nov 4.
I created a Cullect.com reading list of the blogs: http://cullect.com/Banking-Crisis-Blogs
Thirded on acrossthecurve. I also find Alea quite useful.
how can you possibly leave out professor Roubini’s blog?
Anne Coulter or Michael Moore do not belong in the same sentence; one of them attacks bereaved widows, and the other one is funny.
Also, for everyone who thinks they know Krugman or DeLong or anything better than Cowen: including a link to make your point could make you, if not convincing, at least remotely plausible.
