The most underated album here on PA is certainly A Passion Play. Best album I ever heard in my life and people find it horrible.

Agreed. One of the most important albums of all time, and hardly anyone seems to notice.

I know Gentle Giant is never listed as a bad band, but when people list "prog" bands it's always : Yes, King Crimson
Genesis, ELP Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd, and I believe Gentle Giant deserves to be on that list.

I agree with you. I like all of the Manfred Mann's Earth Band albums. The early albums as well as Watch and Angel Station should not be forgotten.
Earth Band included a very underrated musician in Mick Rogers. He should be a big star!

I think John Wetton is an amazing singer and bass player, but he hasn't got the respect he deserves

I think John Wetton is much appreciated on this site, as singer and bass player of King Crimson. Or do you mean his solo works? ![]() |

The chemistry of a band is more important than individual qualities. Balance counts. Nick Mason seems perfect to me for Pink Floyd.

Pink Floyd's music didn't need flashy drumming the same way it didn't need complex bass playing. Floyd was about atmosphere, and Nick Mason contributed perfectly.

Nick Mason is one of my favorite drummers. There's something to be said about restraint that a few people here obviously don't understand. One person mentioned that they had never been "blown away by his percussion abilities". That's fine, but you should be blown away by his impeccable understanding of time, atmosphere, groove, and tastefulness. Otherwise, you're just a shallow listener.
As far as underrated players go, Bill Frisell instantly comes to mind. This guy can play anything and has worked with so many different artists and genres, having an uncanny knack for leaving his fingerprint on anything that he's a part of. He's released some great solo albums and worked with John Zorn (and part of Naked City from '86-'03), Dave Holland, Elvin Jones, Jack DeJohnette, Elvis Costello, John Scofield, Ginger Baker, Michael Shrieve, Mike Stern, Ron Carter, Paul Motian, among countless others, and he even appears on an Allen Ginsberg album of poetry and spoken word. Bill Frisell is one of the best living guitarists around today, and hardly anyone knows who he is because he's so humble. |

When i think of under-rated drummers, the one that comes to mind right away is Jo Koinzer from German jazz-rock band Brainstorm.
His name is never mentioned, and when you hear him, you will wonder why? He has a complex technique that is aggressive, but intricate in the same breath. |
