I was just playing 25 or 4 on Rocksmith the other day.  There’s for sure a lot going on in that one.

There are a lot of people who I think are overlooked.  Jeff “Skunk” Baxter would be one, Michael Hurley of dada would be another, also Nels Cline.  Jan Akkerman.  Buck Dharma.  Christopher Cross.  Ross Godfrey of Morcheeba.  Jez Williams of Doves.

There’s also a generational aspect where some that were well regarded during their heydays are being less appreciated now.  Someone like Steve Howe would fit in that bin.

I’ll also shout out to Hank Marvin.  The dude influenced pretty much every great guitar player that came out of Great Britain in the 60s or 70s.

I agreed with what you wrote, but then you mentioned Hank Marvin — and the truth is, I don’t know who he is. I could google him, but I thought I’d ask you first. Who was he and what band or bands did he play in?
