Two great albums, I played the first one to death when it came out. Saw them on a triple bill with Social Distortion and Neil Young, RIP Shannon Hoon.

This except I hated them when they were around but grew to love them in the early 2000's. They had some good tunes and their Woodstock performance was awesome. Hoon was a good frontman with a unique voice.
 
Much like @DdBob , I kinda liked No Rain when it came out but didn't fully appreciate the band at the time. I only came to appreciate them in the past few years. I still think of recording a cover of No Rain.

I like the Nico album a lot...The Pusher and Soup


 
Bee Girl video was unfortunate.

Rather than think of the song all that comes to my mind is that ridiculous video.

Everything wrong with the MTV era of airplay.

Jordan vlogged this if you haven’t seen it already.

 
I always got Blind Melon and Jellyfish mixed up. They were kinda in the same ballpark, yeah?

Very different sounding bands/styles actually.

Jellyfish: some strong Beatles/Turtles (dare I even say Partridge Family) influences going on, sugary poppy.



Blind Melon: more indie+hard rock tendencies, almost jam band-ish sometimes.

This seemed super harsh, even as I wrote it, so I did some research and tried to listen to the debut album. No offense to fans or the involved parties, but I stand by this.

No problem. We all have music We don't like. For me it is Hendrix and Led Zeppelin; so you can see I am in the minority.

Who died from the Spin Doctors? They were kinda a one hit album band that had all the original members when the album hit. Are you thinking of Sublime?

Blind Melon is a Spin Doctors also-ran. Blind Melon got a boost from a well -timed death.
