Most Underrated Members of Popular Bands
George Harrison (1943 - 2001) was an English guitarist, singer, songwriter, and music and film producer who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles. One of the greatest musicians of all time; but only the third-best in his own band. If that's not under-rated, what is?

To the visitor, this was my joke entry. The rest were serious.
Antoine Carraby, better known by his stage name DJ Yella, is an American DJ, record producer and film director from Compton, California.
John Baldwin, better known by his stage name John Paul Jones, is an English multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, composer, arranger and record producer.
