Who are some of the guys that you feel are underrated or even lost to the annals of time? Let me start off with a couple:

Dave Edwardson - Neurosis
John Monte - M.O.D., Mindfunk,
Doug Ardito - Cellophane (sorry, I can't get into Puddle of Mudd)
Rich Castillo - Mind Over Four
Kevin Rutmanis - Cows, Melvins, Tomahawk

Yes, Jeffrey Hammond was good, but he was no Glenn Cornick

That's sort of the point. Great players all, but either underappreciated or gone entirely.

Well, I think Matt gets his props. IMO. Anytime anyone mentions punk bassist, he always gets a mention.

Check out Glenn's time during the solo in Bouree... kinda bad. I think John Glascock was a total monster. That being said, Dave Pegg was darn good too!
