Badfinger is one of the great underrated bands though I personally see them more of a great singles band than a great album band, the one exception being the original Without You which I rate right up there with No Matter What. Lot of tragedy within the band though (two suicides a few years apart).

I wonder if they were imagining something like this when they thought of their name:

Coldplay is another for me

Good post...I've come to love...B.B King- Bobby Blue Bland- James Brown- Wes Montgomery- Tina Turner.

The Yardbirds. I learned about them in my 20s within a whole "cluster" that mixed Eric Clapton, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, Blind Faith... I only saw them as "one more British blues band". Only later I've listened to their discography and discovered how good and different they are.

Alice In Chains. I listened to them a lot in the 90's but they were just another band in my 90s sound track. Rediscovered them a couple years ago when Love Hate Love Live at the Moore popped up on Youtube and just blew me away. Then Mad Season Live at the Moore. I never heard of Mad Season until a year and a half ago.

10cc and Beach Boys. Correct.

A back in the eighties in my circle Queen was considered commercial junk. Today they are widely accepted as legends and I love to listen to them.

Time seems to make things better. :) I remember hearing that in 1969 some Women considered Grace Slick as a Bad girl. Not badass, just bad. But Grace Slick today is considered one of the most iconic, groundbreaking, classic, revolutionary Women in Music History. :)

Definitely Tom Petty. Once I became curious enough to actually dive into his discography, I realized he was so much more than "Free Falling."
