Blind Melon was largely known for their catchy, albeit tragically overplayed, tune and video, "No Rain" released in 1992. I myself, as a man in my early twenties often found myself humming the song. As for me, that was the extent of my knowledge of the Blind Melon's work until recently.
Three years after their debut album, including their big hit, the band released their follow up, Soup. This is a bit darker of an album which reminds me more of Stone Temple Pilots than the band that created "No Rain".
Unfortunately, only two months after the release of their sophomore effort, lead singer Shannon Hoon would die of a heart attack after a cocaine overdose.
