For under-appreciated artists, take a look at the long list of unreviewed albums residing somewhere on this site :-)

Generally, most artists playing prog that came into existence in the last 20 years or so would fall into this category imho. Not all, but something like 80% of them ;-)

Also, by actively incorporating astrology into his songwriting process (didn't the liner notes to several Hawkwind albums go into detail about this?) he's proven it's good for something after all! LOL

Seriously - he's also a very good rhythm guitarist. A lot of his playing is much more difficult than it initially sounds.

More candidates? Maybe he's not underrated here in the prog fan community but I find that Robin Trower never really got the dues he deserved.

Yeah, where? Many of Zappa's musicians are kinda MIA.

My suggestions:

Stephane Galland of Aka Moon fame (obscurity) - a stupidly good drummer, easily among the very best drummers on PA, pure bliss to listen to. But very few people seem to be aware of him.

Andy McCulloch (drummer on KC's Lizard ) really fun and quirky playing there.

this guy and his band Geinoh Yamashirogumi.

it's a huge collective so it only makes sense to choose the founder. his band not being in the archives despite repeated mentions by Honganji and I certainly qualifies him for being a little underappreciated, too. ;P you've heard some of his music if you've ever watched the cult anime film Akira.

Daniel Denis of Univers Zero and Present!
 
He's a fantastic musician, both as a drummer and songwriter, but he's awfully overlooked. His drumming is amazing, and unique. Listen to UZ's "Dense" and judge by yourself, one of my most preferred drummers, no doubt.

Savatage is okay.

But TSO is incredible, I like Skolnick better than Caffery though.

Caffery is more under-appreciated though because nobody really knows who he is.

Oliva is just kinda there.
Idk, My BFF Steve.

The resurrected Wakeman Vs Greenslade Poll is a reminder of an under-appreciated musician. 
 
Guess which one i'm referring to.
