I don't think I've ever seen David being "Underrated". He is widely respected among musicians. I think he's been given due credit for a long time. Every guitar player I know always listens in rapt attention when he plays.

I meant by the great unwashed. He's swept under the rug with Frank Zappa while hacks like Yngwie "See the speeds at which I can noodle around in this myxolydian mode" Malmsteen get lauded.

PS: While searching for hacks on CDNow, I noticed that my old guitar instructor's (fairly obscure) old band, Cry of Love, has a song included on a Guitar Heroes VA album. How cool is that?
