1-Gil Moore-Triumph-Being Canadian.
2-Jerry Shirley-Humble Pie/Fastway-Didn't sell enough records.
3-Roger Taylor-Queen-Overshadowed in his own band.

Some interesting responses--many because of their obscurity and several (Joe Morelo, Ringo Starr, Ginger Baker) who are among the most appreciated and celebrated ever.

I would add Trilok Gurtu, known in guitar circles for playing with John McLaughlin but hardly a mainstream name.

Well, in the pop rock/folk/country realm, neither do the guitarists nor other instrumentalists play with the creativity or energy as those in jazz or metal, no?
