Most underrated classic (1970 to 1990) rock bands/artists?
If you still listen to radio stations, you'd think that Classic Rock was pretty limited to Boston, Led Zepplin, AC/DC, Aerosmith etc....
Who do YOU think was underestimated from that era (1970-1990)?
Mine:
1) Queen. They get some play still, but don't seem to be counted as a great rock band here. Why??
2) STYX. They were all over the radio, and then vanished. Forget Mr. Roboto (please).
3) BTO. Three BIG hits that your kids (or parents) will be able to recognize immediately. Nobody knows who they are now?
4) Billy Squier. IMO, one of the best and most forgotten rock artist.
5) Slade. These guys were known outside of North America much more, but had their own songs remade (sadly) for some reason.
I know many will either disagree or think of better examples.

Yeah, radio stations have to adhere to their "play lists." The best time to listen to our main classic rock station is late at night. The late night DJ pretty much has free reign, and he'll often play some pretty obscure stuff, such as Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd
Out of the bands you listed, Styx, Queen and BTO get a considerable amount of airplay where I live.
And to name an underrated band, I'll say Montrose.

This list pretty much sums it up:
