 He's not underrated, Shawn, he just isn't such an idol as is Blackmore, Clapton or Page... but who cares? If you like his style more - he is no.1 and no one can take that away from you. :) I love his electric stuff more than the acoustic for it is his trademark.
Cheers, Igor

The fact is, today he plays more, and there's more gain to his guitar -

And don't forget: then he wasn't the only one playing the solos, Ken did a lot of them as well, which, in turn, perhaps created that magic which you miss by now, David. That band was less predictable and schematic, that's for sure. But still I like modern version.
