YES! Elliot Easton is on my list of underappreciated guitarists.
Among them, Lindsay Buckingham, James Honeyman Scott, Johnny Marr (well, he does get a lot of deserved attention come to think of it) and Alex Lifeson.
But Elliot in particular always seemed to play solos that fit perfectly with the song.
@nitedrive James Honeyman Scott — completely underrated guitarist. Johnny Marr is one of my faves too...
JHS — he was so great.
Elliot is so clean... Shake it up is phenomenal. It's almost like he is playing chicken with going seriously close to sweet but he then veers way off into sourpatch with that sound. it's like sour covered in sugar in your ears. yummy.
Lefty!!

agreed. This guy is an incredibly underrated guitarist. Every solo he took with the Cars was spot on perfect.

@179rich you're so right, he's one of the few unique players that knows just what to play for a song.
