Default Bands you did not appreciate when you were younger but later realised their greatness
So I’ve been asking myself a few questions. Why do I get mostly instrumentals in my YT recs? Why don't I get tunes with lyrics? Where are they? What the hell is wrong with me?

Yesterday someone mentioned 10cc. The name rang a bell but I couldn't place them until they hummed “I’m Not in Love”, “Dreadlock Holiday” and told me to look up “I'm Mandy Fly Me”
Oh yeah! That stuff was on the radio in the 80s and 90s!

I wanted to dig to see what else I’d been missing. Turns out they were originally from Stockport and released their first single in 1972. Their early albums Sheet Music, Bloody Tourists, Deceptive Bends, How Dare You!... all sound brill, at the first listen.

3 songs at random:

10cc - I'm Mandy Fly Me (1976)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPzd7NNbQoU

10cc - The Worst Band In The World (1974)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM4Uz3u6sOE

10cc - Une Nuit A Paris (Part 1) / The Same Night In Paris (Part 2) / Later The Same Night In Paris... (1975)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc7drqD4RtI

What are they, proggy rock ‘n roll with charming sometimes punky lyrics? Sounds like a eclectic band with plenty of feelings and a lot of banter and innuendo. Perfect for MB!

If anyone has any bands that they didn’t think about in ages but then came up in conversation recently and made them look them up again, then feel free to post ‘em.

Both the Beach Boys and, more recently, the Association.

I also didn't care for either of those bands when I was younger but they both grew on me over time, as well.

The 5th Dimension were another 60's group that took a while to sink in with me.

Same thing happened with me a couple of years ago, mostly because my only connection with them was "I'm Not In Love" from the 70's. I heard Rubber Bullets and it changed my whole perception.

I was very wrong about Modest Mouse.

I'll add Badfinger to my list. They recently came up in the rock album survivor thread. I never got into them much when I was younger and I hadn't listened to anything by them in years but the thread got me interested in listening to several of their albums and I discovered a lot of good songs that I just hadn't paid any attention to previously.
