What "appreciation and recognition" are you talking about?

Best regards.
Being considered a member of the band that he has played on all but one of the albums for, and has toured with for longer than Alec. I know it won't happen but hey, what's life without dreams?

Sure he's a consistant, and very average bassist and that's about it. He no more than bobs his head when he plays on stage, and is very lifeless. He is no more than a sessions musician and I can guarentee that NO ONE became a bassist because of Hugh. He is a VERY replacable member to the band. And no, Im not trying to be an ass, but I just don't see it.
That's because some people don't need to try in order to be in ass.

(I jest, I jest.)

Given the input they seem to get, especially nowadays, I'd say Jon and Richie are the only truly irreplaceable members of the band (FWIW Dave is actually my favourite band member). As for Hugh being lifeless, I actually like that he just does his job with minimum fuss. I'd rather have a competent bassist around and leave the showponying to the front man/lead guitarist but maybe that's just me.
