Underrated Musicians

Anyone who hasn't OD'ed on drugs or died in a plane crash yet.

Most musicians don't become really famous until they croak.

Arthur Barrow. He's the bass player on so many Zappa solos. I'm not a musician and don't have big musical ears - but, the Zappa/Barrow/Colaiuta combo on ShutUpNPlayYerGuitar is otherworldly. I spoke with Arthur on an old school Internet Bulletin Board and he's a wonderful and very humble guy
 
When he was alive some people knew how good he was and even after his death he is mostly unknown and unrecognized

I will admit that he was an artistic genius, but I wasn't into Zappa and the Mothers on Invention much while he was alive.
