Coolest Recorded Guitar Tones

[Mobocrat]

my top 5 (no particular order)

1-Converge : First Light
2-Phoenix Bodies: Raise the Bullshit Flag
3-Stiff Little Fingers: Alternative Ulster
4-Billy Bragg: To Have and Have Not
5-Mercury Radio Theater: The Blue Eyed Model


what do you think are the COOLEST recorded guitar tones ? My all time favorite is Converge- First Light.

Billy Bragg? Now there's a sleeper if ever I heard one. Good (and unusual) choice. I like John Lee Hooker's gnarly tone too. And Marc Ribot's sound on Rain Dogs is great too (doesn't Keef play on that album too?). Definitely not Robben Ford :D

solo tone on "maggie mae" sorry..... sure I got the title wrong.... love it!

I love fred mascherino's guitar tone on all the breaking pangaea albums

R.L Burnside, once Jon Spencer got ahold of him.
"A Ass pocket of Whiskey" is pure dirt.

Glad someone else recognizes this. Hard to go wrong with cranked up old Fender amps - :)

Also, just about anything David Gilmour has ever done, but some of my favorite tones from him are from Animals and his first solo record.

If we're talking about cool tones, you have to include Johnny Marr (Smiths) on How Soon Is Now.
