There's plenty out there...our boy Mick Taylor is horribly under-rated, I'd figure i'd add some others
Mike Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop of the Butterfield Blues Band
Robby Kreiger of the Doors
Albert King AKA the greatest |

How can Taylor be underrated when he's named one of the best blues guitarists together with Clapton and Green, he then becomes the lead guitarist of the biggest band in the world, travels the world, earns millions of dollars and 30 years later people still have fiery discussions about you. I don't call that underrated.
Roy Buchannan -that's what I call underrated. One of the best guitarists ever, but sold exactly zero LP's, and never played anything bigger than a pub. Now he's dead, and suddenly people start to be interested.

No, Taylor received just a tip for the entire 1972 tour. His house in the south of France of course was just a two-bedroom condo, and the Spider in front of it was a second-hand...

LOL. Great post.
**Mathijs was so angry that he developed a tremor in his right hand, forcing him to post 3 times and rendering him incapable of playing the guitar for a month** |

Several of the guitarists mentioned are world famous...so how can they be underrated? |

Just because some of them are world famous, it doesn't mean they're thought of highly enough for their guitar playing.
I'd make the point that Keith Richards is an underrated guitarist. A lot of people just accossiate him with drink and drugs, but I think people forget that he has created some of the greatest riffs ever. I adore his lead work too. Some of these flashy players put me to sleep. They lack the raunchy sound that Keith possess.

Henry Vestine from Canned Heat, my favorite musician of all times. Saw him in 1997 one week before his death and he was still awesome.

Keith turns up fairly high in a lot of polls mentioned by folks on various boards.
Taylor on the other hand does not.
I think that is a good benchmark for whether someone is underrated or not. Having a record deal is another.

Boo Hoo, he's been dead for awhile so it ain't all of a sudden and he usually gets named to the great Tele players lists. Wonder how many Alligator LPs were sold, gotta be more than zero.
How bout Byther Smith?

Unappreciated perhaps, but not underrated.
And of course you can argue with placement, but that seems pointless. The point is that they all are in the "Top 100" according to a widely distributed publication. |
