Few people know of Uriah Heap and the combined talent there. I would agree with these guys and just recently got a Ken Hensley solo album. Everyone should hear "The Wizard" just once to experience vocals and guitar at this level...
James McMurtry, Robert Earl Keen and Ray Wylie Hubbard get my votes. Todd Snider tells a good story.
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote. *Marvin Simkin* L.A. Times (1992)
Former Black Sabbath frontman Tony Martin. Love all eras of the band but no other singer who held the mic for them could come close to matching his vocal prowess.
Also, Doogie White of Rainbow. Incredible voice that few have ever heard.
I'd never say KISS is "under rated" because they've sold a gazillion albums and EVERYBODY knows who they are, love them or hate them. I do not think they get the credit they deserve as musicians though. None of the original four were professionally trained and none of them could even read music. To reach the heights they reached with those limitations is remarkable. Peter Criss in particular is often maligned as a drummer. I will admit, his glory days are long over and his stamina is gone. But in the early days, he was an animal behind the kit.
Also, his "whiskey" voice made the songs he sang lead on that much better...
I had to revisit Darrell's music. I must be getting old, but I still appreciate his contribution to rock. RIP.

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
