SRVTexas Flood
David Gilmour About Face
Plenty more from those 20 years ... including some albums from some Jazz Fusion orientated guitarists not often mentioned on these threads such as John Scofield, Stanley Jordan, Pat Metheny, Lee Ritenour, Al di Meola. Maybe there's a little corner of Fretboard that holds these guys in high regard and can recommend a specific album ...

Crowbar self titled and Odd Fellows Rest.

RATM - Evil Empire. Definitely not forgotten but everyone always talks about the self titled whereas I think this had a much rawer heavier sound. The covers album had some massive riffs on it too, Maggies Farm for instance.
Drive Like Jehu
