I have always loved the way Duke Robillard's plays the blues ... then I heard T-Bone Walker and realized that the Duke was a "T-bone Clone" (I mean that in a good way) ...
In blues/rock, I would have to say Jimi Hendrix. I don't know anyone who wouldn't recognize that sweet Jimi sound.

Randy Rhoads. He used that raunchy mxr pedal.

rhoads had a very unique tone, but the winner for me would have to be slash or Lynch. the first time i heard velvet revolver i didn't know slash was in it, but as soon as i heard that smooth glassy tone, i knew it was him .
Lynchs tone is really recognizable as well as his style, i love those "death octave" scales he plays.

WOW, a tough question, 'cause it really depends on who you've heard, wouldn't you all agree?
As for myself, I can pick out a lot of players in one note, but to me the most recognizeable tone comes from Roy Buchanon...the things that guy could do with just his hands and a tele....whoah
and there are so many good reconizeable tones....
Van Halen, SRV, Beck, Johnson, Atkins, Albert King, Wes Montgomery, etc etc...
I think it's probably easier to pick the worst tone I've heard, and it's pretty recognizable and distinctive too! lol I nominate C.C. DeVille!! Funny guy, but just awfull tone.....

I've heard a live album of these two guys playing together and there's quite a few places where I have A LOT of trouble picking out who's who and who's playing what.

I have that CD too....when you say ALBUM you give up your age LOL
It's Albert King with Stevie Ray Vaughn "Sessions"
It was recorded for a tv show that used to air in Canada....
Anyways, while it is true that Stevie tried his best to emulate Albert, I can hear the differences between the two easily...One is playing creamy humbuckers, the other stinging single coils...and any time you hear a flurry of notes, you have to know that was SRV...Albert had the coolest licks, but allways stuck to the right hand lane of the musical freeway, if you know what I mean...

And yes, Albert definitely had a fatter tone, but if you're not listening right at a point where they trade off, it can take a lot of concentration to tell who's who.

I gotta go with Eric Johnson. His tone is so distinguished and pristine almost like a crisp german beer.
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
