Ephel Duath - The Painter's Palette

Italy's finest progressives Ephel Duath combine flurries of jazz, ambiance, and technical metal into flowing pieces of work. 2003's The Painter's Palette moves in unexpected twists but guides the careful ear through an epic much like a soundtrack to...something. Unique and impressive guitar work in amazing polyrhythms with vocals to fit the context.

The Allman Brothers - The Allman Brothers

For the first post, here's an easy one. As the pioneers of Southern rock and true bluesmen, six instrumentalists (that's two drummers) define twin lead guitar playing, dirty tube tone, and the word "jam". They were called the "Grateful Dead of the South", but had a much more recognizable sound than any of their peers or contemporaries. The debut album introduces a sound of still untold influence and is, itself, an absolute classic.
