Yeah, they definately kickass. As far as musicianship and talent Frank Zappa and the Mothers never got nearly enough credit for the type of stuff they were doing musically, Frank Zappa was way ahead of his time and is still to this day one of the greatest all around musicians that has ever lived. Other bands that never really got the recognition that they deserve I think are Uriah Heep, Blackfoot, Spooky Tooth (Gary Wright, who wrote Dreamweaver, was in Spooky Tooth), Bread, Ten Years After, Traveling Wilburys (Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne (ELO), and Bob Dylan), Primus and Derek & The Dominoes (one of Eric Claptons projects), etc. The list goes on, that's just what I could think of off the top of my head.
