I realized how versatile he was by listening to Tales from Topographic Oceans the first time!!! WOW! Any thoughts?

i would say steve howe is probably THEE most underated guitarist ever....(dimebag a close second and don't forget al dimieola) -----the overated department is tough 'cause while they get the praise they deserve, there are many that are just as good...BUT they don't have kick ass licks and riffs that the "overated" came up with. having said that, Ace Frehley sucked then and now....just one stolen lick after another.....!@#$$#@@
