I agree especially in popular music,it makes me feel ill that Phil Collins is a house held name and Zappa isn't! |

Toby Driver. im a fanboy now. officially.

Organplayers: Vincent Crane (Atomic Rooster, Crazy World Of Arthur Brown)
Graham Fields (Rare Bird, Fields)
Jean-Jacques Kravetz (Frumpy, Atlantis)
Mick Deacon (The Greatest Show On Earth)
These are some of the best organists ever... sadly not often remembered

for me the most under appreciated musicians in prog are, 1-guitars: frank bornemann..in my opinion he is not adequately appreciated as a top guitarist / cliff jackson of epitaph..remember him??
2-keys: have to agree with above post , vince crane..such a musical genius. one of the best yet sadly hardly anyone mentions anymore
3-drums: mark lavallee of lands end and keith harrison of pineapple thief
4-bass:..yes another eloy member, klaus peter matziol..truly one of the best bassists in the world,

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.

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. |

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!  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. |

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 ;-) |
