Bob Seger, why did it take so long?

Became a huge Seger fan back in the 80's.. The live Album that came out around then was amazing. Had a friend of mine who caught on to Seger around the same time. We took a couple of road trips back in the day just to catch some Seger shows, and they were amazing. Will have to admit that his music is not something that has aged with me. Plenty of artists I listened to back in the day, that I still listen to, and that still are putting out good music. Can't put a reason to it, but his music is just not something I return to. But when I do hear it.. it immediately puts me into a very specific time and place for me.
