Unsung heroes?

[vegas532]

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

Kevin Rutmanis indeed.

Interesting topic. My list :

Glenn Cornick - Jethro Tull

Alphonso Johnson ( alas, we don't hear much of him these days )

Michel Hatzigeoriou - Aka Moon

Peter Cetera - Chicago

Tony Reeves - Colosseum

Wow a Glen Cornick reference! How about Jeffrey Hammond and John Glascock, too?

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

Graham Maby...Joe Jackson
Andy Rourke...The Smiths

Tom Barney seems to be completely under the radar on TalkBass.

I've never heard of any of those five or any of those bands.

Lloyd Brevett Skatalites
Brian Cook Botch
Craig Ahead SOIA

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

IMHO:
Matt Freeman - Operation Ivy, Rancid
Jeff Ament - Pearl Jam
Muzz Skillings - Living Colour (what the heck ever happened to him, anyway?)

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

I see him get mentioned, especially when people mention favorite punk bassists

Very true

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!
