Years ago, a buddy went to an Alice Cooper concert in which ZZ Top was the unknown "starter". He said when they first took the stage, they were booed on looks alone. By the time they were 30 seconds into LaGrange - the booing stopped and folks were kinda stunned. When they finished and Alice Cooper took the stage, they were booing him and wanting ZZ Top back LOL.ZZ Top. I liked their stuff growing up in the 80's but once I heard that blues sound that they had in the 70's I was hooked.

Oh, Sorry about that. If we're talking about unappreciated/underrated it has to be The Kinks. Pete Townshend said of Dave Davies: "His guitar skills are Blistering." Plus Ray Davies was one of the best song writers ever, IMHO.He said under appreciated lol. I have all those and an original street survivors before they pulled it.
A true genius and poet when it came to writing music. But........who in the world told him he could sing??Bob Dylan was a prolific writer as well and many of those songs were successful thru many other musicians.
I just had to go to youtube and listen to Sylvia's Mother. I saw Dr. Hook in 1974.Dr Hook
Agree. When we were younger it was music to get you pumped up. Now, I like to listen to the music, offbeat drums and some great bass lines.I dont know about pure musicians but now when i listen to matalica and really lisen its how in the hell do they repeat that so much goin on!
