Is there a band or artist who were around in your youth but you didn't 'discover' them until fairly recently.

I'll start with E.L.O. They are amazing, better late than never eh?

"Jamiroquai "

Love Jamiroquai have been lucky enough to see them live more times than I can remember

Definitely a band that don't get enough recognition

& I wouldn't say no to Jay Kay either x

Yes I felt I was late discovering them at 16. Prior to that I was listening to Madonna, Erasure and Pet Shop Boys. Then discovering Queen I was becoming a man

Mudhoney, saw them live a couple of weeks ago and wondered why it had taken me over 30 years to check them out.

Altered Images and ABC. I always knew about them but never fussed. Saw both bands at a festival a few years ago and they were both brilliant.

Seen them at their own shows and they were amazing. Often on my playlists now.

Not exactly just discovered them, but was never particularly bothered about Pink Floyd but have developed an appreciation for them lately.

The Misfits. Just didn't bother with them then fell down a rabbit hole.

Also Ghost. I dismissed them as a gimmick but I ended up loving them. I would have loved the opportunity to have seen them in a smaller venue as opposed to the arenas they do now.

I saw mudhoney many times back in the day and rated them far higher than the big name grunge acts of that time.

But somehow Sonic Youth completely padded me by, I know I tried but I just didn't rate them, now I love them

Agree about ELO. They get played a fair bit on Greatest Hits Radio and the other Sunday, Simon Mayo played 'The Way Life's Meant To Be'. Given my age, this single would have passed me by in the early 80s. I now hear a masterpiece and have been listening to the parent album, Time, ever since. It's amazingly good. Also I never bothered much with Billy Joel, although 'We Didn't Start The Fire' I thought was one of the best and cleverest songs of 89. I now keep discovering more of his excellent work. Currently playing 'You May Be Right' which was one of his earlier singles. It failed to chart like ELO's single above. Baffling

I missed out on the Misfits but saw Glenn Danzig at Rock city once, great singer

Bel Canto. White out conditions. Ambient gothic type of thing.

Dead Can Dance. Aion. Medieval music brought up to date, with both singers taking turns.

Yes Billy Joel is another. As a small child all I knew was uptown girl as it was played to death. I realised in recent times, BJ did lots of other good stuff.
