Attributes[Plot]

{HoldAll,Protected}

Since Plot has Attribute HoldAll, at the time PlotStyle gets evaluated there is a single entity (a Table) to Plot. Use Evaluate on the Table to force its evaluation earlier.

Plot[Evaluate[Table[Sin[a x], {a, 1, 2}]], {x, 0, Pi}, 
 PlotStyle -> {Hue[0.7], Hue[1]}]

=============
I create several functions using Table and want to plot them
on the same plot with different styles. However, it seems that
the last style in the list of PlotStyle options is used for all 
the lines.  E.g.

    Plot[Table[Sin[a x], {a, 1, 2}], {x, 0, Pi}, 
     PlotStyle -> {Hue[0.7], Hue[1]}]

will have both lines with red color, while

    Plot[{Sin[ x], Sin[2 x]} , {x, 0, Pi}, 
     PlotStyle -> {Hue[0.7], Hue[1]}]

works correctly. Any idea how to make first version work?
(I have Mathematica 6.0)
