Wayne "the train" Hancock is highly underrated as well.

Mark Knophler as a writer and guitarist. Brilliant in both. Here he is at his best...

thanks for the Marty Stuart stuff- that was new to me. Dang good pickin'
I am not sure Knopfler and Vaughan fall in to the under rated category. Not that they aren't great of course but everyone already knew it. Kind of like mentioning Jimi Hendrix ya know?

Neil Peart of Rush...most know of his percussion genius, but most of Rush's songs he penned. Neil Peart isn't exactly underrated, for either his drumming or his writing ability. Alex Lifeson, OTOH, has never really gotten his due.

Billy Joe Shaver could be called underrated too I reckon, excellent songwriter. If it wasn't for him, Waylon might have not become as big as he did.

I can't believe no one said Stevie Ray Vaughn the best guitar player in years. I don't think so much underrated, though. Certainly not among other guitar players. Mark Knophler as a writer and guitarist. Brilliant in both. He can play the hell outta that guitar. Also...you can go ahead and laugh, but George Thorogood. There, I said it and I'm glad! Not technically on the same level as SRV, but he can do very authentic Delta style slide guitar and he's damned good at it. He can make his guitar tell a story. GT always seemed to be pigeonholed as a novelty act and never got much respect. I'll be the first to admit his singing leaves something to be desired.

Glad to see the love for Steve Harris, and Wayne Hancock. Two of my personal favorites.
Jim Heath, of Reverend Horton Heat is a phenomenal guitarist who's style and song writing cover the gamut from early americana -country-blues-surf-punk- and metal. Check him out.
Old Crow Medicine Show, playing a bluegrass/Americana Style, with some wonderfully unique flair, write and perform some damn good stuff
Song writing, Social Distortion, love em
So many to choose from, but those come to mind first

Don Felder of Eagles fame.
+1. IMO, one of the most underrated rock guitarists of all time.

Always felt Jason Isbell doesn't get enough credit for the success of DBT and for what he's doing now.
One of the best songwriters of my generation.

Steve Gaines, damn airplane done robbed us I'm thinking the cause of those deaths were maintenance and/or pilot neglect.

I can't believe no one said Stevie Ray Vaughn the best guitar player in years. Delbert MC Clinton great song writer and singer. Van Morrison just keeps putting out great songs. I saw his last 2 concerts with my daughter. She gave me a bootleg of the last one as a birthday present. Never gets old.
