Failure
Los Angeles' Failure were criminally overlooked during the '90s alternative rock explosion, crafting densely layered space-rock that split the difference between My Bloody Valentine's shoegaze and Tool's progressive metal. Albums 'Comfort' and 'Fantastic Planet' are now recognized as ahead-of-their-time masterpieces, with the latter's 'Stuck on You' becoming a belated hit. Their 2014 reunion after an 18-year hiatus was greeted with the reverence they deserved from the start.
