Funny.....being deemed "underrated" seems to be as subjective as being deemed "good" or "bad". Several of the players listed here are anything but underrated, IMO. Alex Lifeson, Lindsey Buckingham, Neil Schon, Bob Mould, Adrian Belew, Keith Richards, and Robert Fripp are mentioned here among others, and are very well respected and often noted and quoted guitarists, hardly what I would consider underrated. Prince was a good one though - he is underrated as a guitarist (although I think he is way overrated in general). Overrated guitarists? I second Kirk Hammett on that one, and I would add Clapton as well (yes, I know I will be getting flamed for that). But, seriously, Clapton is good, but he is often treated as the Messiah of rock guitar, and I just never saw it that way.
