OK,
Underrated (I was thinking about this one):
1. Marc Ribot (Lead on Tom Wait's albums - check Swordfishtrombones and Rain Dogs.)
2. Walter Becker (The opening solo on Don't Take Me Alive is one of the best ever.)
3. Robert Fripp
4. Alex Lifeson (suffers by comparison to his bandmates)
5. Pete Townsend (best Rhythm guitarist ever)
Overrated
1. Eddie Van Halen
2. Joe Satriani (Still love his music, though)
3. Angus Young (Rated accurately as a character, overrated as a guitarist)
4. Alex Lifeson (The rest of his band elevates him. Yep - he's on both lists.)
5. Jimmy Page and Keith Richards.
Just Right
1. Zappa
2. Clapton
3. Vai
4. Malmsteen
5. SRV
