chazro, listen to roy harper "old cricketer" w/ jimmy page on lead guitar, then revisit your rant.
i also don't get the praise for foo fighters, whose music has devolved to generic, soulless arena rock. i gotta say, however, that the eponymous first album, which grohl played by himself, is a tight, ragged little masterpiece--he had a bunch of good tunes stockpiled before his muse fled. i've always likeĀ  "learn to fly" too.
terry reid is best known for turning down the vocalist slot in both led zep and deep purple in order to pursue his solo dream. not a good career move, but "bang bang" and "terry reid" are great records if you can find them.
steve miller was a natural, which is both a blessing and a curse--on the one hand he could effortlessly knock off a great, simplistic AM tune like take the money and run or the joker, while on the other hand much of his stuff is remarkably underbaked and tossed-off. his late 60s records (e.g. sailor and the above-noted children of the future), when he still cared, are really well-recorded and advanced + he had some really outstanding musicians such as boz and ben sidran (also an uncredited paul mccartney).
