3. Someone said Johnny Marr...I agree
4. George Harrison - He only wrote some of the greatest songs of all time and noone ever mentions him
5. Pete Townsend - See #4
+1!!!! I don't know anything about Johnny Marr, but the rest are definitely spot on! I do believe you can be hugely famous and still underrated! Pete Townshend is especially underrated, is an amazing rhythm player, and when he takes a rare solo, every note counts and makes a statement(Baba O'Reilly comes to mind).
