My Take
Bill Steer is, to me, one of those musicians whose influence vastly outweighs his fame. Co-founding Carcass and contributing to Napalm Death, he helped lay the actual foundations of grindcore and death metal while still in his teens and twenties. That is not just being early to a scene; that is shaping what the genre would become. What I respect even more is that he later explored bluesier, classic-rock territory with Firebird and Gentlemans Pistols, proving he is a curious musician rather than a one-trick pioneer. Quietly, he is one of the most important guitarists most casual listeners have never heard of.
