damm yawn! you scared floris away after his/her first post. just one sentence.
i don't know whether to praise you or fear you.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere - just, here's a bunch of folk songs, but really distorted and rocked up with huge guitar solos with all attitude. Awesome, huge influence on the way I play today
Mission Of Burma - Vs. - you can do a lot with just sheer amounts of volume
Big Black - Songs About Fucking - you can do a lot with just sheer amounts of noise
Roger Miller - Oh..... - almost like a textbook of Roger's approach to the guitar. Feedback, detunings, etc
Richard Thompson - Small Town Romance - you can do a lot if you're insanely freaking talented
Hendrix - Axis Bold As Love - you can do a lot if you're not human

These have all probably been mentioned, but I'll stick my two cents in anyway.

Television - Marquee Moon
Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation/Sister/NYC Ghosts & Flowers
The Velvet Underground - 1969 Live
The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms/Time For A Witness
Husker Du - New Day Rising
The Stooges - Fun House
Serena-Maneesh - Serena-Maneesh

There.

that's bass. he has a 5-string with a high C instead of a low B, i believe. he also has a crazy pedal board with midi controllers and octave things and whatnot. sasaki hisashi also just rules.

Blue Cheer - Vincebus Eruptum

The most utterly moronic sludgebomb of a guitar record there is. God, do I love it. So fun. So fucking stupid. So great.

Seriously, give a hand to Leigh Stephens' white-hot tone on that record. No one ever made a guitar sound like that before.

Prince: Sign Of the Times

Bob, I think this is the absolute first time I've ever seen you post something in relation to music on this board.

Hell fucking yeah to Metal Box and Sticky Fingers, though I prefer Let It Bleed as the best Stones album.

Already mentioned but Yank Crime is just sheer badassery and Marquee Moon for the perfect clean tones and orchestration.

Also:

Neurosis: Times of Grace ... good tonal variety, lulls and obliterates

Sonic Youth: Daydream Nation ... for the shimmer and skree

Comets on Fire: Blue Cathedral ... outta control Fender abuse

Today is the Day: Willpower ... tritones bloody tritones!

Marquee Moon

Funhouse

About the only "perfect" rock guitar records I can think of. Nothing else even comes close.

Two Nuns And A Pack Mule gets a honourary mention for the guitar. It ain't perfect but I love it.

Lysol by the Melvins? Maybe...
