Cheap Trick was practically the king of the live recording before live recordings were in vogue.

So many puppeteers get into the political thing, and mostly just one extreme.
David Lee Roth may have not have been touted as the best technical singer, but he had a personality that could'nt be replaced by any singer.
I know David Lee Roth was'nt a guitarist, but guitarists I have noticed often get overlooked for offering something unique.
And the singer in rock bands was often looked at as the frontman.
But these are inflential musicians, which usually get overlooked, especially on guitar.
I would also have to say Mick Jones of Foreigner is also overlooked as a guitarist and songwriter.
Lou Gramm came out with a very memorable song "Midnight Blue" and played guitar.
Good singers and guitarists that are overlooked also because of their singing presence.
I think time has been a lot better and will be better to the Roth's, Neilson's, and little mentioned players of the world than the imitators and posers.
