I don't think he's underrated at all; as soon as he's mentioned in any drummer discussion, hordes of Stones apologists gather round to claim him the master of the game by pointing out the obvious - that he's simply holding down the rythm. But you could say the same thing about Phil Rudd as well, and I don't see him revered for being a master timekeeper.
