Blackfield. About two and a half years ago, I kept Porcupine Tree's Lightbulb Sun and Stupid Dream on repeat for months. At the time, I wished Steven Wilson had kept with the Prog-Pop format. It was not until this summer that I gave Blackfield a good look and realized they're basically pop PT.
And to some extent, ELP. Emerson's playing used to really annoy me, but now I appreciate his "overplaying" so to speak.

None
Yes, lame answer, but hey!! On this site (especially when you're on Progarchives for years), you think you've heard all the classics, the masterpieces of our time. Then, you hear Luis Spinetta's (Pescado Rabioso) Artaud and think... Wow, these don't stop!! They just keep on coming.
After time too, you acquire the taste of different bands you couldn't stand before (Magma, just recently..!)
Most of these bands stopped touring decades ago, so there's no real reason why I'd wish I've gotten into them earlier.

Transatlantic and Neal Morse's solo stuff - I only got into them around 4 years ago. But at least I've managed to catch up with most of the back catalogue.
Unlike Mostly Autumn, who I got into around the same time but most of their earlier albums had been deleted by then.

How could you not like Satanic Majesties ???
My opinion on the Stones is something I prefer to stay away from in detail because there are many who enjoy their rubbish, I do not want to hurt anyone's feelings. They were amazing until 1969 and then, ......plodding through ever since with mediocre albums. Sorry....

They went from progressive to regressive. Yes, Satanic Majesties, Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed are great albums but IORnR ? Really ? Goat's Head Soup ?
7 good/great years followed by 40 years of.....

IQ for sure. I didn't discover them till 2003 or so, and went back/got into the previous albums.
Same here.....I didn't discover IQ until about 2010-11...then went back and got into the early albums. There are other 'modern bands' that I got into around the same time or a little earlier.
Been listening to the classic bands since they came out in the late 60's and early 70's. Got into many of the more obscure bands ( from the 70's and 80's) in the early 90's. With the help of a couple of friends who had huge collections I learned about all the older groups who flew under the radar.

Magma
Quick drive to Portland to see them at the Alladin ... easy access from I-5 ... don't miss it! (April 4th)
Otherwise my answer is NONE!
Like a few folks here, I'm almost guilty of having heard way too much stuff, and it's difficult to say something here when you also know classical music and jazz and folk and everything else in between! It has a tendency to throw people off badly in this board, because the world is flat and there is no music where the cardboard ends! So christian of them! Or so heathen of me!

Cardiacs - I am so annoyed that i never went to see them or heard a record by them. Even after reading an article sl*g.ing them off and thinking to myself - 'I might just like them!'

I have to believe that I got into every band exactly when I was supposed to. I suppose I felt differently in my youth, but such is the nature of youth to feel slighted and impatient. I recall certain bands I really didn't "get" initially (Magma comes to mind) that I could not likely live without now.
