Well, that's the way it is. It's the same way with a band like Def Leppard or Genesis. A lot of people who got into Genesis during their mega-popular 80's period never bothered to investigate their early stuff. At least at the time, I think a lot of people, at least Stateside, were unaware that Peter Gabriel had started his career in Genesis, etc.
I remember, in the 90's, Joe Elliott using the excuse that "We'd have maybe a dozen people going, 'YEAH!' and 10,000 people going, 'What the hell is this?!'" for why they never play anything off their first album in concert. And, unfortunately, he's probably right.
