Late to the party? What music did you discover a decade or more late?

These could also overlap with the “obscure songs that you enjoy but don’t think many people know about” thread.
I didn’t find these guys until about 2006?

I was aware of them but I didn't really appreciate Alice in Chains until a decade or so after their peak. Now they are up there with some of my favorites

AIC is one of my 19 y/o son’s favorites.

Back in the 90’s it seemed like the media & fans rated Alice In Chains as 4th behind Nirvana, Pearl Jam, & Soundgarden in the Grunge Big 4. Over time it’s become pretty clear they are #1 & it’s not even close. I always considered them the best.

Radiohead
First album sounded like a British grunge knock off. Didn’t listen to them again until I saw them on SNL with their new album Kid A. Blew me away.
Then did a retro dive and discovered OK Computer and The Bends. Realized I’d kind of miss it

Most everything after the age of 30.

I was almost a decade late for Tool. Arguably my favorite band now.

Always a blast
I saw them and John Cowan play an acoustic set and I swear it was one of the funnest nights of my life

LEftover has never played a bad show. I haven't seen them in decades, but in the 90's they'd come through Athens (GA Theater) and Atlanta (Variety Playhouse) at least once a year, usually more, and for multiple sellout nights. Their energy was incredible, they had to be doing speed. No natural human has that much energy night after night without a little help. A girl I went to HS with ended up hooking up with the bass player, and from that point forward she was his Georgia whore. Whenever they came through Athens or ATL, they'd hook up. I got to hang out back stage with them once through her whoredom. They are really chilled, laid back, and smoke a shiiiiiit ton of weed. When one joint goes out, they light another one. When that one goes out, they light another one. And so forth. I don't know how they could stand up and play with the level of virtuoso that they did.

I missed out on alt.country during its heyday in the '90s.
Finally started getting into it in the oughts. Had only heard the name Wilco, not the music. Had never heard of Uncle Tupelo, or The Silos, who were the true transitional band between Cowpunk and a.c -- as I like to say, they were Uncle Tupelo before Uncle Tupelo was Uncle Tupelo.
Discovered Gram Parsons around the same time. I was late in appreciating traditional country/honky tonk as well.
Big Star -- but then pretty much everyone was late on them, as their albums were impossible to get ahold of
I avoided The Dictators as they got panned in The Rolling Stone Record Guide. My bad. Their first album is a classic
Moby Grape. I think it was the name.
Fairport Convention/Denny/Thompson

their set at jazz fest this year was incredible and the best salmon show I’ve seen yet. So much fun

Discovered Doug Sahm via Joe King Carrasco.

I kind of listened to bands like AC/DC and KISS when I was a teenager, but I was well into my twenties before I really got into 70s classic rock. As a teenager, I was into hair bands, then made the switch to grunge like most of us did.

Never heard of built to spill under well into adulthood and they're one of my 10 favorite bands.
As a HS/college kid I, like many others, had only heard the very very limited popular/radio-worthy songs by groups like ELO, bowie, blind melon, sabbath, etc. When I got older and dove further into catalogues I was actually kind of pissed that the radio stations my whole life only played such an extremely hyper-limited selection instead of the dozens upon dozens of far more badass songs these people have that had never graced my ears before.

I was born in late 80's and 90% of what I listen to is 60s-90s rock/metal, so pretty much all of my favorite artists were discovered a decade+ late.
Posted on 7/10/26 at 9:32 am to junkyarddawg3
Alice in Chains, Tool, and Deftones were all bands I didn't love at first until many years later.
Posted on 7/10/26 at 10:09 am to junkyarddawg3
As a young kid in the 70s, I only knew the Skynyrd radio hits, but I delved into them in the mid to late 80s, and became a huge fan
