wis @Fretwired for Eruption - superb piece of work
If forced to choose just one it is still Camel's Snow Goose, after all these years (closely followed by Mirage, containing the ineffable Lady Fantasy)

Camel are a superb band. Mirage is a great album, at the time it blew me away. 

Freebird

3 Telecasters, bass & drums.

Queen - A night at the opera. Especially for Good Company. If you've never heard it you're doing yourself a disservice as a musician. This is from the Classic Albums series, the whole vid is better as it explains it, but the clip I've shared is under a minute:

No Jimi mentioned.”Electric Lady Land”

JD50

Sonic Youth - Goo

Django Reinhardt - Djanology

Tom Waits - Real Gone

Just been listening to T.Rex - Electric Warrior. Bolan was pretty rudimentary and most of it is three chord trick - but what a trick! He just got this brilliant sound. I think he was hugely influential on the late 70s back-to-basics players. You can hear Bolan in Steve Jones, I reckon. 

Deadman

The Damned's and The Smiths are both great shouts.

However, I'd have to go with Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats 'Meet the meatbats' for Jeff Kollman's great playing. If you've never seen him play before, do yourself a favour and watch this:

Marc Bolan & Mick Ronson.

Bolan used a Rangemaster, while Ronson favoured a cocked Wah straight into a cranked Marshall.

That's odd. I listened to that LP with a mate several years ago (in the 1980s I guess), and we both concluded the guitar sound was shite. It certainly didn't seem to have the, er, balls of the El-Clappo with Cream sound. Maybe it wasn't meant to, but that's the benchmark we were testing against.
