Ian Crichton or Andy Summers

I enjoy both guitarist's styles immensely. I'm not sure if Andy Summers qualifies as overlooked, though, since he's in one of the most famous rock trios of all time.  
I definitely regard Ian Crichton as underrated. His guitars characterized the early Saga sound as much as Rochon/Sadler/Gilmour (with a quick mention for Gregg Chadd) and their banks of Moog keyboards!

I own more CDs with Ian Crichton than Andy Summers, so I voted for Ian.

	adore both, very difficult, but I have to say if this is an "underrated" poll then Crichton takes it
