Phish- Lawn Boy (Trey Anastasio) His tone is always incredible. Roine Stolt also always has a great tone. It's really not about tone's per album, it's just in general (guitarists tone's don't change that much.) I would also add in John Scofield but he's not in the archives yet (Jazz Fusion.)

Out of the list, Wish You Were Here takes it.
To answer in general I'd have to really rack my brain though.

Out of these: Rush - Hemispheres- Lifeson always has a good tone on his solos, not a fan of his general sound during chords and everything though. Love Rush, nonetheless. Porcupine tree - Deadwing- very good tone overall, SW is a mediocre guitarist IMO. Pink Floyd - Dark SIde of the moon- incredible tone, Gilmour knows how to hear. Gentle Giant - INterview- Decent tone, why this album? No real mind blowing solos soundwise. But GG was never like that. King Crimson - Red- Fripp's tone is very technical on this (with the exception of Starless which has a great tone.) Overall, I don't like his tone nearly as much as his songwriting. Yes - Fragile- Yes were great writers but I'm never a fan of Howe's tone. He plays too many notes and is choppy a lot. Rush - 2112 Pink Floyd - Wish you were Here Genesis - Nursery Cryme- Hackett's got a great tone as always. Love his playing. He knows how to solo emotionally without playing 5000 notes a minute. Dream Theatre - any album ( I 'dont know them)- Petrucci's tone is okay. Can get annoying with the absolutely ridiculous amount of notes but he has his moments. Tool - Lateralus- Heavy guitars can't really judge the tone much, incredible album though. Mahavisnu Orchestra - Bird of fire- Great tone. Queen - II- May has a great tone as well.

His tone on those early albums is suberb (Clutching at Straws in particular).

What exactly is meant by "guitar tone?"

Manuel Göttsching has a great tone. Just listen to his playing on the first side of Ash Ra Tempel's "Join Inn".

Hm.... out of this list...
1.Yes- Fragile
2. PF - WYWH
3. Tool - Lateralus
4. Other - Anglagard - Hybris and Flower Kings - any of the albums up to space revolver
The "other" option calls for a VERY long list, but I dont have much time right now

How about Nick Barrett on Pendragon's "Believe"? Great electric and acoustic tones throughout.

That's a tough one... Most albums featuring Steve Hackett. Gilmour on Meddle (particularly Echoes) Andy Latimer doesn't even need good production, his tone is so good. Mike Holmes' sound on Dark Matter is amazing... Lifeson on Signals... Ah, there are too many great prog guitar sounds on record.

Steve Vai has always had the best guitar tone, end of discussion.
I don't care if you think his material is w**kery, or what not. The man creates tonal bliss and has always had the sweetest of vibrato's (for those in the know - guitar players - it's a circle vibrato that he basically invented to create a fuller sound)

back from the dead, i will begin posting reviews again and musing through the forums
