Lucifer, everything that ever happened to them is his fault, granted he didn't directly cause it, but he created demons, he was responsible for heaven turning out how he did, and in the end he was the cause of the leviathans being released. He is at the center of all evil in the show, just like in real life.

But in for a penny in for a pound, my second favourite is Azazel, he is just perfect at being a demon, cruel, manipulative, highly inteligent, plus he was able to best everyone, he only lost purely because he loved streching others suffering out. Not to mention he is the cause of the winchesters becoming hunters, Lucifer may have been the source, but he was the person who actually did it.

Then Zachariah, a wonderful show of a business man villain, who when I first saw I thought was going to be a good guy, only for it soon to be made clear, he's just a cold, heartless buracrat, he is also the most human angel of all (except perhaphs Gabriel)

Then Alastair, pratically a physical embodiment of cruelty, has absoutly no limits or morals, longs and loves pain and destruction, plus the scene were its revealed he can smash angels into the dirt is one of the most memorable of all

Then Raphiel, he just had such power, he didn't even need to do anything other than stand there, and you could tell he was power, he was pratically vengence itself, the sort of angel that you read about in the old testmate, the one that other angels fear.

Dick Roman, say what you like about the leviathans (its all true anyway) But Roman was a wonderful villain, he actually managed to do things that no other big bad had in ages, he managed to kill bobby, he managed to get the winchesters on the run again, he smashed the status quo into little pieces. Not to mention he's just so masterful, so ruthless, and the fact that his whole race fears even the mention of his name, is enough to show he's a big threat. He's practacally the only reason I continued watching the seventh season.

And then Crowley, a wonderful new spin on things, a completely unqiue demon, a new age demon, what really wins me over is he's the weakest big bad ever, he can barely control his own men, he can't physically over power any of the previous ones, and yet he cunning and crafty enough, to stay ahead of all others, making him king of hell, was a good idea, even if it makes only minimal sense.

Finally Eve, a underused concept, the idea of a maternal villain I like, as up to that point all mothers were potrayed as good people, and the idea of mother of all monsters? Amazing, it actually explains almost as many questions as it raises. Plus Eve's sceens disguised as mary winchester, really take the cake.

There you are, my eight favourite villains (one per season) in that order.
