When I think of a unique guitar sound one man that should of been on here is Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, this man never gets any credit.

[KillertoneLabs]

Maybe you could break this into groupings:
Top 20 Stand-out Tele 🎸 tones
Top 20 Stand-out Les Paul 🎸 tones
Top 20 Stand-out Strat 🎸 tones

[tommorris]

Tony Iommi’s guitar tones off of the albums Paranoid and Master of Reality are almost 50 years old and still revolutionary.

[jgfunk]

I remember when "Money for Nothing" came out in 1985. I was 12. That guitar sound and riff floored everyone. It didn't matter what kind of music you were into (e.g. Rap, heavy metal, R&B), everyone loved that song and the sound of that guitar and that riff.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond always gives me chills.

[Marsllama]

"I love this song so much I named one of my children after it"

Later that day:
"Hey Dad, how's the new video going?"
"Just finished recording. Thanks for asking, Sargent Pepper".

[bradcarter]

Brian May’s ‘fat bottom girls’ tone
Jimmy Page’s ‘Black Dog’, ‘heartbreaker’, ‘the ocean’
Angus and Malcolm Young’s ‘Back in Black’, ‘Highway to Hell’
Hendrix’s ‘purple haze’
Cantrell’s ‘man in the box’
Gibbons ‘la grange’
Slash ‘sweet child o mine’
Iommi’s ‘sweet leaf’
Lifeson’s ‘limelight’
Walsh/Felder’s ‘hotel California’
Duane Allman/Betts’ ‘whipping post’
I could go on and on, but these are ones that would be on my list.

I remember hearing Walk by Pantera as a teenager and how distinct of a metal sound it was, kinda sounded like dime was playing through a toy amp, only 100 feet tall. Santana's always instantly recognizable, too

[twistedviewlabs]

Anything David Gilmour played was excellent. Such a distinct and beautiful Strat tone. Seriously, his guitar licks alone could create Utopia.

[jackh]

Brian may is such a legend for building his own guitar with his dad as a kid and using the same guitar for every song his whole life, you can her the coin scratching so clearly

[qigung]

Two on my list:
1. Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover
2. Johnny Marr (The Smiths) - How Soon Is Now

[lepurpleboi]

Interesting thing about Eruption, Eddie used that as a warmup and their producer decided it would go on their first album

[ross]

Should’ve mentioned Jerry Cantrell’s sound from Dirt and Tripod they just sound so disgusting and dark it’s mesmerizing as to how powerful and confident the notes are played

[phast]

Stevie Stevie Stevie!
Mister Vaughn’s clean tones were absolutely formidable.

[pinkraven]

The solo from "La Villa Strangiato" is unreal. My top 5 easily

[stringtheoryguitars]

Owner Of A Lonely Heart. That incredible solo using the harmonizer was so crazy... plus all the compressed clean tones with chorus... SO good!

[leemaples]

Leslie West got an epic guitar sound on Mississippi Queen Still sounds great today.

[patrickallan]

We've heard Gimmie Shelter so often it almost seems like a cliche, but it's just amazing.

[steveflorida]

Robin Trower, Santana, Deep Purple, Steppinwolf, and CCR are distinctive sounds.
