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
