Also:
Frank Marino - Mahogany Rush
Pat Travers
They sort of fall into the "whatever happened to category" and not necessarily underrated as both were fairly big in the '70's.
Although wiki says of Frank Marino: "Often compared to Jimi Hendrix, he is acknowledged as one of the best and most underrated guitarists of the 1970s".
As for Pat Travers, and again from wiki: "Kirk Hammett of Metallica has cited him as one of his favorite guitar players"
Wasn't really much of a fan of either to be honest (my older brother had the Mahogany Rush Live album), and Pat Travers' "Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights)" and "Snortin' Whiskey" were played all the time on radio stations in L.A. c.late '70's.
