Interesting thread started here.
Good point by Neapolitan. Sleeper Bands. Good turn of phrase I'd not heard before.
Some bands do seem to creep up to their "Immortal Fame" or still be talked about 25 years on. The Libertines is an example of a possible. Also I think Elbow could also be a Sleeper Band. A sound that is new and always experimental will go far. Take Pink Floyd for example. Very Experimental but not so Accessible to all. Elbow Experiment but sell music to more and more each day.
Also when a band member dies in a group this can help. Take Jim Morrison and the Doors. Ian Dury. Janis Joplin.
When an artsit dies we all start to see someting we may have missed.
Its sad when an artist gets more appreciated after death...
Jeff Buckley
Nick Drake
Hendrix
Bob Marley
Exceptions to these are people like any of the Beatles, Elvis, Jackson.
