Big Star was like that for me. When I first listened to them about 15 years ago, I thought their songs were pleasant enough but nothing special. Then I listened to them again around 2000 and their brilliance just completely snapped into focus. The melodies, the hooks, the earnest, yelping vocals...perfect guitar pop music.
