Dickey in my opinion wrote the worst Allman Brothers song (rambling man) and the best (Liz Reed and Jessica) Jessica’s structure made a whole lot more sense when I realized how influenced Dickey was by Django Reinhardt.

I didn’t say it was a bad song, the worst Picasso is still a Picasso. The statement was only relative to their own body of work.

Alex Lifeson



Always the first guy to pop into my head, followed closely by Gary Richrath (REO's original guitarist).

Lifeson had the misfortune of being in a band with one of the greatest (many say THE greatest) rock-and-roll drummers of all time.

Richrath was just not very flashy but could play the crap out of a guitar.

I think the phrasing I would use for guys like this is probably not underrated as much as overlooked. I suspect that both of these guys are recognized for being great players.
