  1. Rush - Hemispheres not really, Alex never hit it with the perfect sound for me
  2. Porcupine tree - Deadwing Oh yes!!! Definitly
  3. Pink Floyd - Dark SIde of the moon The best sound mr Gilmour ever had
  4. Gentle Giant - INterview No idea, havent heard it yet
  5. King Crimson - Red Yes! The heaviest guitar sound of the ´70, yet so sophisticated
  6. Yes - Fragile Here mr Howe plays so clean, with almoust no distortion...I agree
  7. Rush - 2112 no
  8. Pink Floyd - Wish you were Here A less...bombastic sound, less effects, its still very good
  9. Genesis - Nursery Cryme No, too dirty for it own sake
  10. Dream Theatre - any album ( I 'dont know them) I would say the sound is normally very good, specially in later albums
  11. Tool - Lateralus It works for them, but I woulnt put it in a top list
  12. Mahavisnu Orchestra - Bird of fire The perfect sound for Mahavishnu
  13. Queen - II May always has his personal sound, it doesnt change that much
  14. other - name it mmm...how about... the guitars in Opeth´s Blackwater park?
"You want me to play what, Robert?"

Quite difficult, but I voted for Hemispheres. Smile

Alex's tone on that is great, though I think his tone on Caress Of Steel is even better! Clap

I dont understand all the hype around Alex tone...some albums sound terrible, the guitars anyways...like the first three and Permanent Waves...thouse synth guitar sounds are awful

The tone of the guitar is the way it "SOUNDS", not what is played on it.....
 
Gotta go with "Wish You Were Here" for a great warm guitar tone....Gilmour may not be my favorite player, but a real "tonemeister"....even live!
 
Conversely, Howe is my favorite player, but I agree his tone can be a bit harsh, or brittle, or tinny at times, especially when he uses a Telecaster.....(Think the solo on Soundchaser)
 
Perhaps the most signature guitar tone in rock is Brian May's....NO ONE sounds like him, because he uses (most of the time) the guitar that he and his father built together....
