Yes, RI J! Great name! As far as under- rated specifically, Schon is among the top of that list. Forget later/ commercial Journey. Do yourself a favor-- if you love/ appreciate great "heavy metal" Guitar skills, get the first few Journy albums (pre- S. Perry)... and I guarantee you Neil's playing will blow you away.
Equally under-rated, but still great (that "R.S. Top- 100 List" was a total joke! Retarded!
):
Dave Mason/ Chris Wood (both!), from Traffic/ solo; Dave Davies/ Kinks; Santana; Tom Sholz from Boston-- agreed John. R.!... Randy Rhodes (he's NOT the "best Heavy Metal" guitarist ever?? Tony I. is ??) ... Gary Ritchrath from REO Speedwagon (yes, the early stuff!!)... Neil Geraldo/ Pat Benatar's band (1st three albums)... Blackmore yes... Beck is almost forgotten... Steve Howe no one even mentioned? Anyone ever hear of Martin Barre? (Jethro Tull-- awesome guitarist!)... the Cars Elliot Easton was under- rated (though not "great")...
I can go on, but won't!... As said, of course here re. music to each his own!
