If we're talking 90's alternative music, YES. One of the most overlooked of the decade

I love this band so much; they're so much more than a one hit wonder in my eyes.

Why everyone so serious about what genre of music they are, good music is good music, that's fucking it.

The loss of Shannon Hoon was much more tragic than Kurt. This band had amazing potential and it was cut short far before it had ran it's course.

You're absolutely right. You can make the case that Nirvana had already peaked, and Dave Grohl leaving to form his own band was inevitable, as he was much too good of a songwriter to be relegated to Kurt's shadow. On the other hand, Blind Melon still had a lot of untapped potential left in them, as Shannon Hoon was an incredible songwriter, and the band's unique take on alternative rock was too expansive to be stunted by the trappings of grunge. That's my opinion on it anyway. Not to be mean, but if Kurt hadn't died when he did, there's a good chance he would've ended up like Layne Staley.

Why is everybody so worried about whether this is grunge or not? Their music is amazing and that’s it. Open your minds, guys… Genres, genres, genres…..

Can't believe how good these guys were...Their oh so brilliant music and live presence are way too overlooked, such a shame...They really had such an original and unique sound, with one hell of a frontman... निर्वाण...

Documentary about Shannon Hoon and Blind Melon just released the first video from Hoon's private footage that he shot before he died. Pretty powerful. http://kck.st/1yTBXBW

Might be some grunge influences here and there, but it certainly isn't the main genre of Blind Melon.
