Ever made a massive mistake by dismissing a band or artist based on one listen or one album-then came back to them years later only to find you'd deprived yourself of something amazing?

This happened to me with Steve Hackett's solo career.

I'd been a big fan of Genesis from about 1972,but somehow didnt get to hear Hackett's first solo album Voyage Of The Acolyte.

I bought his first post-Genesis LP Please Dont Touch at the time of release and was horrified! I found it totally bland and unlistenable (still do really) and that was the end of Steve for me until Easter this year.
I d/l Star Of Sirius and Mechanical Bride from the Bio Section and was completely stunned.The tracks were amazing and I quickly desired the whole catalogue.

Needless to say I aquired his first 4 albums remastered from Camino in Aug and have since added Darktown,To Watch The Storms,Highly Strung and Watcher.Apart from the aforementioned Please Dont Thrutch (Dead) I'm completely bowled over.The guy is a genius!

I feel like I have been missing something for 30 years! A day barely goes by without me giving one of his albums a spin.......

.......has this ever happened to you?
