Clapton

As good as everybody thinks Eric Clapton is, I still think he's under-rated.

Most jazzers.

Prince. Dammit, beat me too it. But he is an excellent musician, a virtuoso.

Jeff Beck - Probably the least celebrated of all the 60s guitar players

Grateful Dead - Behind all the mistique, these guys were good songwriters. Sometimes the drugs got in the way of the band, but Weir, Lesh and Jerry knew how to play.

Velvet Underground - Bob Dylan meets the MC5.

King Crimson - The one prog band with both chops and a rocking edge.

Talking Heads - Byrne is cool

Sun Ra - The most underrated yet influenicial, and perhaps contraversial jazz man ever.

Frank Zappa - Style and a sense of humor

And of course Phish, who IMO are a wonderful blend of all the above bands.

Wow, not many know Sun Ra, "the revolution will not be televised"

 

[Piper]

Never got to see him play, but I've seen his sideman, Michael Ray, plenty, and he's carrying on the tradition.
