Joe Santiago of the Pixies has been overshadowed by his more popular bandmates (Black & Kim) but if you listen to Frank Black's solo you can realy see how much Joe realy put the Pixies on to another level...(Im a fan of Franks solo...but its NOT the Pixies)...

What do you think. Any other underated guitar heros come to mind?

    Marc Fucking Ford.

    I don't know if he qualifies as underrated though.

    The two Marcs...

    Marc Ford and Marc Ribot. Both massively underated imo.

    Robbie Krieger........in fact the whole band besides Morrison is underrated. They are all excellent musicians, some of the best ever including Jim Morrison.
