EagleMoon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Donnie Iris! One of the most powerful voices in rock!I've seen him live multiple times. Him and the Crusiers bring it every time.Check out 'Ah Leaha' 'Love is like a Rock' 'Do you Compute' 'That the way love aught to be' for some classic tunes by this man! I love that album. Same here. Really reminds me of the 80's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Joan Jett She has been at it so long, is so bad ass, really knows how to write a great rock song and is a fine rhythm guitar player.

Steevo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Jimmy Page. Carl Palmer. Michael Anthony. Wait. Did you say OVERrated? The most obvious you forgot to include was Keith Richards. JP isn't overated either, far from it, especially on here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I think neither Page or Richards is overrated. Richards is a brilliant rhythm guitarist. Listen to "Street Fighting Man". It's a brilliant recording and innovative production, because of Keith Richards. And it's only one example out of many. As for Page, unfortunately he blatantly lifted too many blues riffs without giving or admitting to due credit. That's the only criticism I can give Page. Aside from his musicianship, he's as brilliant a producer as there is. Top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Toto How is Toto underrated? Toto has 8-10 very good songs and albums full of boring, mundane crap. I'd rather go to a dentist than listen to Hydra or Fahrenheit, for example. :D "Endless" is very underrated song though. It kicks ass. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ntu5GumlKqU Did you slag off my Fahrenheit?

Segue Myles Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 However...Endless is my favourite Toto song. So for that I will partly defrost it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how he could play like he did (does?) with Pantera while also being so out of shape but he did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del_Duio Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I remember Midnight Oil from the eighties. They have many awesome albums. Their musicial style has changed a lot since they began but have been really consistent throughout their career (maybe excluding most of the Breathe album). Kind of like RUSH I guess in that way. Here's a late one that's really cool, especially if you like clowns or McDonalds: Edited March 19, 2015 by Del_Duio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Duio Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Damn, Midnight Oil. I always forget about Midnight Oil! I'd still list them as my favorite band, with DT and RUSH right behind. I've never seen energy like that from any band ever, especially in their prime. This is a really old 1982 clip of "Powderworks" (a 1978 song of theirs) but it's exhibit A to see what I'm getting at. Watch how Garrett makes his entrance, it's one for the ages lol. Too bad they editied the whole middle part out for TV. The whole song is on their Scream in Blue Live album though, complete with a drum solo intro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Huey Lewis! Has to be done. Local guy! Was friends with Phi Lynott! He's on some live Lizzy. He's on a Phil solo album!Huey Lewis And The News is underrated. Everyone on the Rush Forum has a hard on for the boys to play "Jacob's Ladder" again. Well I think Huey's tune of the same title is amazing! It's on the "Fore!" album. Underrated stuff! Have you ever seen the movie "Short Cuts?" Huey Lewis is in the movie and you can see his penis. Let's just say the man is blessed. Everyone on here has a hard on for "The Trees." Well I love "Forest For The Trees." It's also on "Fore!" Huey Rocks! He has "The Heart Of Rock And Roll" Jacob's Ladder is one of my favorites by him. He really deserves more credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Frank Zappa. Considered a god by many, but not enough. I dont consider him that. Hes just my favorite contemporary (meaning modern) composer and my favorite guitar player. He was also a very intelligent man and the fact that he survived in the music business despite having absolutely zero commercial potential is a bloody miracle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detonator Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Camel must be the most underrated band ever. Right up there with Floyd, Genesis, Rush and Yes. Prog rock gods. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhWDbdS-vjg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Bondurant Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Malcolm Young. AC/DC was his band right from the start, but Angus and the singers got all the media attention. Still, Malcolm is probably the best rhythm guitarist in rock'n'roll ever. Save perhaps for Keith Richards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I want to say Jani Liimatainen, ex-member of Sonata Arctica. He devises some amazing guitar solos http://youtu.be/m9w7jfR0GtM Yep. Still stand by this. Have been standing by it for years. Short (typically short anyways), sweet, and impressive solos. He really got me interested in guitar solos in general. No one writes solos like he does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
