Late to the party; obscure bands you missed when they were around

[Cat Burrito]

...but have since discovered. I stumbled across these 90s Southern rockers with their Lynyrd Skynyrd / Black Crowes vibe this weekend. I was completely oblivious to them at the time despite being into the likes of Cry of Love at the time this would have come out. How'd I miss this?

The singer is apparently now in Black Star Riders and I saw them live a few years back / have their albums without realising his past / the connection.

Who'd you miss at the time, only to then get into at a later stage?

Not sure it counts as missed but I didn't get Placebo for the first two albums, ow one of my favourite bands and love the first two albums most. I think they have just been a bit quiet for my taste at the time.

I missed out on Hanoi Rocks. Being firmly in the punk camp Hanoi didn`t reach me until a mate lent me Two Steps From The Move. This was after Razzle had died so until the reform in the early 2000s they were a band that I`d loved for nearly 20 years without ever seeing them. A tape of All Those Wasted Years was ever-present in my car in 1986.

Nearly all of Psychobilly. Stray cats, meteors, tiger army, nekromantix, horrorpops, frenzy, batmobile...
The Reverend Horton Heat is one of the few I caught in the 90s

The Waterboys and Hothouse Flowers took about 20 years to get my attention.

Not that obscure but only got into Counting Crows two years ago.

Tony Joe White - he's written so many well known songs for so many famous artists.

Steamy Windows, Rainy Night In Georgia probably the more famous ones.

He has a fantastic deep voice and an incredible guitarist.

Jesse Winchester died in 2014 and I "discovered" him in 2015.

Bugger!

Still, one of my bands now does 2 of his songs.
