Underrated Artists...

reprobaytMy mp3 player is in a holding pattern.
Can't update it due to a slow death spiral - but it has made me dig deeper in my diverse collection loaded on it. I have found myself "rediscovering" artists spanning decades.
We all have our all-time Favorites (mine are Prince, ELO, Public Enemy, George Clinton, Stevie Ray Vaughn to name a few...), but I've found myself remembering the talent of people like Loose Ends, Steve Winwood, Pink, Level 42 and others. They're the type of artists that have you asking over and over again "Why don't I own more Melissa Etheridge/REM/LTD/etc..."?
Who are your hidden musical gems? Popular musicians who (although respected) never seemed to get the heaps of praise you thought they deserved?
