People may say it's stoners music.
But there was a metal sludge outfit out of England from the mid-sixties before the term metaal was ever coined that played all throughout America, especially the Midwest.
Named The Gods for their pile driving guitar sound.
The act went through different incarnations and names and became Uriah Heep.
Always shying away from anything overtly political and playing what they felt like.

"Lady In Black" proves there was more to them than a stoners outfit.
In fact, the song has stood the test of time incredibally, even though they were mostly panned by critics for their albums.

The most underappreciated guitarists are the ones without all the mainstream success.
I have noticed that the acts without the hits seemed to have influenced the music seem the most.

Lou Reed is another one of those songsmith guitarists.
Maybe not flashy, but revolutionary.
