Yea, I think I meant solo guitar albums but the threads taken a nice direction, so carry on :p
-
The only guitar instrumental stuff I've heard and enjoyed are by 'The Shadows', 'The Ventures' and Dick Dale - take it back to the old skool ;)
edit: kayama yuzo is also very good (i covered one of his tracks once)

I've got an album he did with a band called Watchtower - always found it pretty hard work to listen to.
-
This is genius :D

OK, instrumental stuff. A few mentioned already:
Joe Satriani - Surfing With The Alien (haven't heard his more recent stuff, but still my favourite of the ones I know)
Eric Johnson - Tones and Ah Via Musicom
Vinnie Moore - Mind's Eye (better tunes and more melody than other shred albums I bought in the '80s!)
A few others I like:
Chris Poland - Return To Metalopolis
Jennifer Batten - Above Below And Beyond
Chris Haskett & Brandon Finley - Nonfiction
John Paul Jones - Zooma
The Mermen - A Glorious Lethal Euphoria
I'd love to include some Roy Buchanan and Richie Kotzen, but most of their best albums have vocal tracks!

Seriously Lew, you should check it out! I'm not sure I've ever actually listened to it from end to end, but it is insane throughout.
-
GCB - Chris George Band.
He's the Marshall demo guy and has an instrumental album out. Check it out! :)
-
The Beano album has already been mentioned, but Peter Green didn't exactly come up short on A Hard Road, the follow up album. I love this track The Supernatural.

yngwie j malmsteen : rising force (i'm not a great malmsteen's fan, but this one blew me away...)
joe satriani : flying in a blue dream (not sure if it's really my satch favourite, but it's the first i heard and some song has become a guitar standard for me)
-
Another vote for :
Robin Trower : 'Live'
UFO : 'Strangers In The Night'
Thin Lizzy : 'Live And Dangerous'
Pink Floyd : 'Pulse'
And adding :
Be-Bop Deluxe : 'Live In The Air Age' ( Especially the track - "Adventures On A Yorkshire Landscape" ).
The Brian Setzer Orchestra : 'Dirty Boogie' .
For guitar instrumentals :
Larry Carlton : 'Last Nite' ( at the potato club ) and 'Sapphire Blue '.
Also, for profound guitar inspiration heard as a session on another musician's album :
Marc Ribot for his work on Tom Waits : 'Raindogs'.
:)

Yeah I thought about posting Saphire Blue. For my money Larry Carlton's got it all, but he never shoves it in your face. The bottom line for me is musicality. And not necessarily in a technical way.

Was it a Jehova's Witness release?

Well said Sir ! :)

-

Midnight Blue - Kenny Burrell
Birds of Fire - The Mahavishnu Orchestra

There's feedback on the intro to I Feel Fine but IIRC there were a few blues records that have some feedback previous to The Beatles.
