good tones:
polvo people
jesu/godflesh j. broaderick tones
steve albini
napalm death guitarist
dude from unsane/cutthroats 9
alex newport
trey spruance (really, the best guitarist around, period..)
paul leary
dudes from neurosis
wes borland
dude from deftones
dude from jawbreaker
fucking champs guys!!!!!!!!
deerhoof peeps
ponytail peeps
johnny marr
helios creed (no shit, eh?)
early misfits guitar (so fuzzy!)
man or astroman
dick dale
fripp (usually)
erase errata (until nightlife...)
not-so-good tone:
dude from phish (every song i've heard has the same shitty tone)
dude from system of a down (too dry)
sun city girls dude (though he is an amazing guitarist; it's probably the production is what usually makes his guitar tone kinda lack)
...
uh... That's about it. Most "professional" bands have good guitar tones and good drummers, if nothing else.
