I like My Bitter End but their tone not so much.
Bands Whose Tone you like, But Don't Like Their Music? Or Like their Music, not tone?

This. Rammstein have a double whammy of tone and production to back their awesome song writing. The rhythm guitars are heavier than getting your head slammed in a bank vault door, and the production and mix is perfect. They have a perfect balance in all departments, and yet they still sound fucking thunderous.

I used to hate Mastodon's tone, I have been listening to them since Remission hit the shelves, so thats going on towards 8 years now, and It's only within the last 2 or 3 years that I started liking the tone. It would sound horrendous if any other band used it, but for them, they way they fucking thrash their songs out, the hit-and-miss tone and retro sound to everything works to excellent effect.

Guthrie Govan: LOVE his music, HATE his tone.

There's not much he can do about tone even if he wanted to
You're right though, there were people around in the 80s with good tone, but some lenience should be given considering modern standards.
I guess your right.
You know who else is bad but tone sux.

The most recent Morbid Angel album. I love covenant onwards tone-wise, but Heretic sounds like a V-amp
Came to post this. What gets me is that Azagthoth pulls out a bunch of interesting and awesome lead tones out of the bag but the rythym tone is droning nonsense recorded inside a washing machine. Nth'ing Shawn Lane, too, although I don't much care for his music either so whatever.
+1 to whoever posted Evergrey, too - I'm not really into them but Monday Morning Apocalypse sounds about as slick as any album in that style ever will. I also seem to remember digging the production on the self-titled Chimaira album as well, although I'm not willing to go back and listen to it again to find out why

Love the music, but the tone is outright terrible.

Cryptopsy is one of my favorite bands of all time, but the tone on most of their releases... Sounds like they recorded it inside of a small garage, inside a larger garage. Did I mention the smaller garage is fucking huge, and provides an unnecessary amount of hollow, sludgy reverb?
Edit: Now that I put on None so Vile, I realize it's not as much the tone as it is the mix. It's like vodka and milk...

They are one of those bands with really simple guitar work, but they really nail it. That epic phat tone they have just makes some of their songs (Mein Teil <3). The new album will be cool. The single is epic
Agreed. I love Mastodon's tone, but I think the half of it is how they use it. It works for how they play.

i guess mixing got a little better with the latest album but, i'm one of those dudes that tries to pretend the latest album does not exist.

I'll have to bring up seo tai-ji... His songs are anywhere from OK to plain awesome, but the tone is fucking monster. Especially in songs like Ultramania and Bermuda [Triangle]

There are times on Erotic Cakes where I think "that is awesome tone" but it's usually in the clean parts, I don't like his overdriven tone at all.
I actually dig the tones off Disturbed's Indestructible, and I normally hate that band.

i think rusty cooley is a god among men but his tone is horrible...IMO.
on that same token the same goes for bloodbath! WTF is that tone supposed to be? i could literally plug my guitar into my mouth and use my asshole as a speaker and get a better tone but their music is SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK.
