Blind Melon

[here is no why]

fans of this band on here?

 

soup is an incredible album in my eyes.

 

intersted to see what the views are around these parts.

One of the most underrated bands of the '90s that's for sure, and as for Soup, yes it is fantastic.

[Jarrod]

Galaxy

Skinned

Tones of Home

and

Time

Have to be my favourite of Blind Melon

[bishopx]

They were a decent band. Galaxie was my favorite song for a long time.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Soup is a pretty great album although I had a friend who was completely obsessed with them and kinda ruined the band for me.

[borntohula]

can't say they ever stood out to me.

[LonelyWreckage]

Only got their debut for No Rain and although it took me a while to get into it, it's nothing short of brilliant. I've yet to try Soup, though.

[Jarrod]

Soup is great. I recommend it just for Galaxie and Skinned.

[here is no why]

Skinned is a great song, probably the standout on the album just because of it all.

[Monochrome Rainbow]

I'm a huge fan of "Mouthful of Cavities".

[Moonlight_Graham]

i only remember that song with the bee girl in the video replaying over & over on Much Music/MTV back in the day can't remember the name. I will check out "Soup" though.

[LonelyWreckage]

Yeah, that's No Rain.^

[Kitch_Man]

A very underrated band.

 

Would have been very interesting to see how they matured as a band, with their 3rd and 4th albums, if Shannon had not passed on.

 

I actually really like "Nico" (1996). The thing I've found with Blind Melon is that their music is appreciated more after repeated listening...(especially their Soup LP).

 

I have yet to hear the recently released "For My Friends" (2008), with the new singer / songwriter Travis Warren.

 

Though, I am very much anticipating seeing the band play live once they set a Vancouver date. From what I've heard, they are still very tight.

[Prometheon]

All I've heard is the song "No Rain" which I fucking despise. Is that indicative of their sound, or should I check out some of their other stuff?

[Monochrome Rainbow]

Meh, I think you'd appreciate some of their stuff Owen but there are other "No Rain"-ish tunes that they have.

[here is no why]

nah... no rain was a one off basically, they have so much to their songs when you really give a listen. great song writing. i'd say check them out, you'd probably be pleasantly surprised.

[Prometheon]

Cool, I'll check them out. Which album should I get? Soup?

[here is no why]

soup is great, both albums are actually but i'd listen to soup first. i just wish the song "soup" was on it but that's on Nico.

[AnOceanPearl]

One of my ex's did an INCREDIBLE a capella version of "No Rain" that still gives me chills thinking about it 3 years later.

 

Also, the new Blind Melon album with their new singer, Travis Warren, picks up right where they left off before Shannon Hoon died. It is a very very very good record.

[bishopx]

I'll have to check that out. Their version of 3 is a magic number, always makes me smile.
