Musicians that as a youth you under appreciated

I started liking outlaw country in my mid 40's, missed it the first time.

I always have to be different, today, it is the artists I gave too much credit to. neil young, bruce springsteen, to name a couple. I cannot align with their political stances today.
bruce really wanted to sing "born in the ussr" , chump

For the longest time, I was die-hard 70's classic rock and it has always taken me a decade or so to warm up to new stuff. I figure bands like the Allman's, Blackfoot, Skynnard, etc., were all I needed. My son introduced me to Whiskey Myers, Blackberry Smoke, Kody Jinks, etc., and I really dig their stuff. I do like all kinds of stuff (Rush, YES, The Who, Kinks, etc.) But when it comes to metal, it's Priest, period.

Pink Floyd was pretty deep and way ahead of thier time i think.

This is supposed to be about older players and groups but Oliver Anthony has got the right mindset.

Howard Tate!

No I was referring to myself putting a new guys name out there with Oliver Anthony. He's a young guy with old style ideas and integrity.

Man, y'all are throwing out some fantastic artists. My musical library has expanded since this thread started. Some I have never heard of and some I completely forgot about.

Thanks!

IMO Mark Knopfler is the greatest composer, lyricist and guitar player in the last century.
Sultans
Money for Nothing
Walk of Life
Telegraph Road
R & J
Brothers in Arms
Done with Bonaparte
Song for Sonny Liston
Shangri La

And he played duets with Chet and held his own…..

Alice In Chains

Still a go to band for me to listen to. The foreshadowing on the dirt album is crazy

Listening to Tool in the 90's I thought they were ok. Different sound then the other groups at the time. Vocals and bass were very original. Now I like to have them playing will at work. For some reason they sound better to me as I've gotten older!

OK , I just want to add Tom Jones on this thread . In my youth he was just a flake , singing on TV shows . But looking back this guy was a powerhouse .
