Which band or musician do you feel suffered from over-saturation / overexposure that people should give a fresh listen to now?

I’ve been listening to some of Frampton’s earlier studio albums and his work in Humble Pie, and it’s a plain shame that his career was essentially derailed by his greatest success, which was that live album. He’s got some really great records out there that I think are being overlooked due to how completely overexposed he was in 1976 and his management’s insistence on rushing him into other ill-fated projects to capitalize on it.

Is there anyone else out there who you believe deserves a second listen after they suffered in the long run as a result of getting so much exposure that people grew weary of them?
Tears for Fears. The music was way better than the dance pop they got cast as at the time. Lyrics were dope as hell.

I’ve always loved that band. Even their pop hits felt more substantive than that of most of their contemporaries. @DarkHeaven

I feel like Fall Out Boy and Panic! At The Disco were immediately dismissed as a passing fad sound in their day.

But I still listen to them, the vocals and lyrics are amazing and both bands have such a theatrical flair that I love.

“Pretty. Odd.” is one of my favorite albums of that decade. My daughter really got into them, and I always let my kids DJ our road trips. When she played that album, I was blown away. I still listen to it every once in awhile.

i think Gaga was showcased and marketed like a short term pop fling but her music and talent is much more serious than i previously thought. She’s doing more of her own thing now and more meaningful things

@NiftyWhite she is definitely talented and not just a pigeonholed pop tart. I love her.

@SW-User Rick is a fantastic teacher. I thoroughly enjoy his channel.

I just stumbled onto it over the summer, and I’m glad I did. @Byron8by7

@SW-User Whatever algorithm YouTube uses brought me to Rick. I watched the YouTube video of the induction of the band Yes into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Rick's video "What makes this song great" about the Yes song "Roundabout" appeared, and I was also hooked.

I may need to revisit them, because they were definitely a band that I got tired of hearing about quickly. Plus, their smarmy attitude really turned me off to the point that I don’t think I ever really gave their music a full chance. Now that 20+ years have passed, maybe it’s time. @SmartKat

Agreed..
I’ve seen him live a few times
A very very underrated guitarist
