Trying something new out soon!

I am going to try something out soon! What I am planning on doing is taping the songs that I tabbed/described in previous posts, and posting them along with those descriptions. I already did the Brighter Than Sunshine song last night-I just need to edit it a little.

For now, I was thinking about distortion/overdrive sounds, and how they are all different-some are harsh, some are warm and some are a mix of the two. There's the solid state amp sound and the tube amp sound. I like them all, but I do tend to like the old warm overdriven tube amp sound-that classic sound.
Below are some songs with different overdrive/sounds. What do you think? Which kind of sound is your favorite type of crunch?
To me, there seems to be 3 main types-(I know that might be simplifying the sounds too much but in the interests of not getting too crazy and technical-lets say 3) of :crunchiness":
1. warm, tube classic -classic rock, older metal bands, punk
2. "tighter"-heavier, less-nuanced crunch-newer metal bands/thrash
3. mix of the two sounds above-80's metal, "grunge"

*Gonna try to post some songs you might not think of for this discussion of distortion/overdrive:

warm, classic crunch:

Dave Mason-Only You And I Know-I absolutely love the guitar sound in this song! Damn! That tone! &^%*! It just has the warmest, singing tones I have ever heard! When the chords are strummed, you can hear the individual notes, and the lead tone is awesome. As you can tell, one of my favorites in terms of tone!
*I know it says Gordon Lightfoot, but this is mislabeled. It really is Dave Mason!




Three more classic overdrive sounds:

James Gang-Funk #49 and:



The Bomber



One more classic sound:

The Who-Won't Get Fooled Again




The newer metal/thrash sound:
Rammstein-Du Hast



Metallica-Enter Sandman:




Dream Theater Forsaken


If you can think of some band that I missed for this type of sound, let me know-I am not as familiar with the newer metal bands.


Mixture of the two sounds:

Judas Priest-Breaking the Law:



Scorpions-Still Loving You:



So...do you have a favorite overdriven guitar sound, or do you prefer the mixture of both sounds?
