What other bands have you 'lost' over the years?

[Heathcliffe]

Following on from the similar thread about your 10 other Bands you like,it got me to thinking about ones I used to be a fan of,(and still have records from) but who I no longer play or listen to much,or hardly at all.
When I was a teenager I had an E.L.P. phase for example but have long since lost any enthusiasm for them.
Ditto Pink Floyd.

I think Tull stand out for me because I will still grab an album released decades ago,still play it and still love it.

Right before I found Tull, The Doors was my favorite. Now I'm like meh. It's still nice but I don't go out of my way to listen to them. I have others but that was my big one. Doors obsession from age 14-15, then the next year or so I found Tull.

Greg,

For me, it's not so much one's that I have lost but ones that slip into and out of favour more regularly than others.

Probably Genesis comes closest to topping the list, although Foxtrot is and always will remain a firm favourite of mine.

Later King Crimson albums left me cold.

However, thinking about it Black Sabbath was one band that really did fall off the pile, never to return.

Most others fade into obscurity for a few years only to be rediscovered by chance.

I would concur with ELP--really liked them for a while but now hardly listen.

I could list some others but it would just be gibberish to you old-timers

Try us out, we may surprise you!

I always come back to stuff (mostly prog rock) eventually, and then that band's music gets a hammering. I've even lost Tull as well for a while, but when I listen to it again I can really get into it and pick up on lyrics, bass lines etc.

Have to say some of the 80's rock I listened to makes me cringe now and in particular Robert Plant's solo stuff, Pictures at Eleven excepted.

I used to be a big fan of Guns n roses on my early days of discovering rock n metal music, but I rarely ever listen em anymore. Though theyre an important band to me in a sense that they inspired me to look up a lot of other rock bands n so on...

Oh and also Van Halen. Maaan, i really cant put my finger on when i last listened them O_0 They were also one of those bands i listened on my early days of rock fanhood. David Lee Roth Van halen that is. Never liked Van Hagar... though, odly, the first Van Halen i ever heard was from Gary Cherone era.

I've thought hard on this but honestly can't find a single band a really liked that I now no longer enjoy. Some bands such as Genesis went more pop (well, heck so did Tull for a while) than in their Halcyon days, but I still grab the older stuff and listen frequently.

There are only a couple of semi-obscure bands I find not as listenable today. A band called Art in America were produced by Eddie Offord and had one album I sort of liked. Then there was Asia and The Buggles, and a Canadian band, Saga. I find all of these a little hard to take these days. I may have only been into them because of the dearth -- and we thought death also -- of progressive rock at the time, and these were the closest there was available to it. Now that there is plenty of great prog around, these bands were revealed as the all too pop crossovers that they were.
