Frank Marino would definitely be on my list.
 
Not sure if he's underrated, but Tommy Bolin is one of my favorite rock guitar players from that era. (I do think that DP's Come Taste the Band is underrated).

 
I agree, Come Taste The Band is one of my favorite albums. I think Tommy Bolin's solo albums are outstanding as well.

Someone is sure making money off of him.  A quick look at Discogs shows that 30 of his 32 albums were released after his death!  https://www.discogs.com/artist/312317-Tommy-Bolin?page=1

Yes, definitely Frank Marino - Kim Mitchell is another who comes to mind. 


Good call.  I remember seeing him live about 25 years ago, and was SHOCKED.  The albums don't do him justice.

Leslie West has always moved me emotionally with his super tasteful guitar playing & tone
To this day , Leslie is still one of my all time favorite Rock guitar players

Underrated, possibly with reason, but Mark Farner had a great influence on me when I was 14. I liked the way he played and the sound of his guitar.
Grand Funk's red album is still one of my favorite disks to spin.

Not sure if it's fair to mention him, but seems to me that Andy Summers didn't get the recognition (or enough) he deserved.

I think it's entirely fair, at least 2 of The Police's biggest hits wouldn't have happened without his riffs (Message In A Bottle and Every Breath You Take), and those huge-but-sparse chords in Walking On The Moon were just inspired.
