Prince - Saw him in Minneapolis and had no idea what to expect. The guy blew doors! Guitar playin son of a gun with vocal chops and showmanship to boot! I was floored. George Harrison - I know a bunch of you homos don't like The Beatles, but you're taste is all in your mouths.  George was a heck of a humble dude and his music post Beatles is really worth checking out. Kiss - Bought a ticket to their reunion tour on a lark and was not a fan in the least. I left hoping I'd see a show that good again. Townes Van Zandt - Well, you should probably just check him out. Mellow, Sunday morning coffee drinking music. Luke Bryan - He's Uber Homo and has nothing to do with good music let alone being under rated in any way, shape or form. He's on this list strictly so you guys that listen to him will stop on account of him being queerer than Ingwe's .270... Waylon Jennings - I know Billy Joe Shaver wrote a lot of his tunes, but the way he delivered songs kills me. He was just so different from anyone else out there and he remains that way to this day. The epitome of electric country music in one person. The Byrds - I can't even tell you about Sweethearts of the Rodeo because you won't believe me.

Duke Ellington is the most underrated American composer. His body of work is amazing.
As far as musicians, it all depends on your favorite instrument. I am partial to Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs.
Cracker blues in its finest form.
YMMV.

Always up for one of the Flying Burrito's ablums....
Back in the day (1971) we had John Sebastian for Spring Weekend. I know, What a Day For a Daydream but, not on this night. The band rocked and brought the house down....

Stewart Copland, great drummer and now he composes lots of music. He was part of what made the Police so good.
Opeth is a band full of great musicians.
Gojira writes great songs despite it being death metal, they guy uses melody and the guitar and drum parts aren't your average run of the mill gallops and blast beats. I dig'em.
12 foot Ninja, they are a very versitile band and their drummer is great. They are a funny band without resorting to being strait up stupid like Primus. Check out the songs One Hand Killing and Mother Sky. It's heavy metal, salsa, jazz and pop all rolled into one and they pull it off well. Lots of other great songs too, those are just 2 of my favorites.
Johnny Cash, none of his musicians were worth a damn but he himself was a great story teller and it translated well to song.
Journey, killer vocals and everyone in the band was a great musicians especially Steve Smith.
Dime bag Darrel, he wasn't great at music theory but he was a great lead player be spite of it and he could break your ribs with a two note power cord riff. RIP.

Joe Cocker
That dude put more heart and soul into each song than anyone I have ever seen. Did he have a great voice, no. He was still belting out his songs until the day he died.
I suggest you look at a few of his concerts from the 1990's on youtube and watch how hard that man works.

Boston. The late Brad Delps vocals were right there with Steve Perry for the best ever and Tom Scholz is one of the great musical geniuses of our time.

Hank Snow
People are just not aware of his accomplishments. He had one hit (I'm Moving On) that stayed number one for 21 weeks, not even the Beatles can make a claim like that...
