The most underrated rock guitarists of all time

Sadly, Pearl Jam hasn't really been consistently praised for its musicianship. The Hall of Famers are stellar songwriters, and the band's music offers the perfect mix of raw classic rock, emotion and a healthy dose of underground punk. However, when talking about the memorable individual standout moments from the band's catalog and famous live sets, McCready corners the market by meshing that token arena-rock bravado with the dirtiness of alternative distortion. His solo work does not get nearly enough credit. Just give a listen to McCready's presence on "Alive" or "Yellow Ledbetter."

    Mike and STONE.  
    Stone has some of the most iconic riffs to his credit.  Very much like James Hetfield as far as a backbone and highly under-appreciated
