Let???s clear up some confusion: Blind Melon wasn???t the Beatles. They weren???t The Beach Boys, The Stones, or Otis Redding either. They were an early 90s radio band who got briefly famous off a novelty gimmick before imploding amidst lead singer Shannon Hoon???s coke overdose. They only recorded three albums, one of which was a hastily-thrown together posthumous compilation, and in all honesty, they did almost nothing to alter or change the course of music.
