My Take

Brad Whitford is one of those musicians who rarely gets his due outside of hardcore rock circles, but Aerosmith simply doesn't sound like Aerosmith without him. Growing up in Massachusetts and sharpening his chops at Berklee College of Music, Whitford brought a real guitarist's discipline to a band that could easily have devolved into pure chaos — his rhythmic backbone let Joe Perry's leads soar without losing the pocket. His co-write on "Last Child" alone earns him a permanent seat at the table, that riff is just nasty in the best possible way. Getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 with the rest of the band was fully deserved, even if the spotlight doesn't always find him first. Underrated is maybe too soft a word — he's quietly essential.
