3) David Byrne on early Talking Heads work (I love the idea he had behind it...all the guitarists at the time wanted their sound to be huge and beefy so he wanted the exact opposite and strove for a tiny thin sounding tone)
4) Duane Allman during the Fillmore East shows (the most perfect blues guitar tone I have ever heard)
5) Richard Millang on Bethany Curve's You Brought Us Here (the ultimate use of a delay pedal)

Honorable mentions: Tom Morello of any of Rage's work (didn't make it because I got kind of tired of him after a while). Robin Guthrie from Cocteau Twins (didn't make it because he goes all over the place with his guitar tone). Kevin Shields on Loveless (amazing tone but he didn't make it on the list just because...well I like the other guys better...plus no one should have to spend that much money to find the sound they want).

Great list, and the guitar sound on Siamese Dream is indeed fantastic.

I'm a bit of a broken record when it comes to this, but I love Andy Latimer's tone. Skip to 2:20 if you can't be bothered with the intro

I considered Joni Mitchell and the girl from the Cocteau Twins as well in my brief deliberation, opted for Chan in the end though. I love Liz Harris from Grouper as well, in fact there are so many excellent female vocalists. Chan rules though...

Gabriel? MJ? Toto? Well they are your favorites.

I'll give some leniency for Peter Gabriel and Sting (as long as it's the Police)...maybe even MJ...but Toto? Really?
