And isn't it interesting that two guitarists mentioned in this poll, Mike Oldfield and Ollie Halsall were both guitarists at some point for Kevin Ayers? (I love Ollie's work on Kevin's "Blue" track.)

Re: Most Underrated Guitarist?
I have a few guitars and play them occasionally, but I don't come remotely close to being an expert on technique and such. In fact, I didn't comment in the "Overrated" thread cause everyone listed there can still run circles around me.
Having said all that, I consider Prince, Mike Mcready, and Adam Jones to be on the underrated list. Am I right?
Edit: OK, OK, I can DO one cool thing on the guitar. Keep in mind that it was 1 a.m. and, while I'm a bit of an Insomniac, I was still dead tired!

Steve Rothery from Marillion .. That most "Unfashionable " of bands but still making sublime music
His amazing feel is second to none for me

As far as I know, he's in better health now than he was. Unless you've heard something more recently? He has been through the mill by the looks of things. Lovely guitarist.

Re: Most Underrated Guitarist?
I think Sterling Morrison of The Velvet Underground is very underrated. I like the tone on his guitar. It sounds like someone took some surf rock and dipped it into a vat of hard drugs.
The song "There She Goes Again" off of the VU's first album is a good place to start.

Putting a half pint of Jaeg (hardcore!!!) ontop of your amp is a true Fail... it will drop in and trash the circuitboard!
