Blind Melon???

I don't know how all of you feel about this but I feel that Blind Melon belongs in the category of blues, I think that shannon Hoon was like the male Janis Joplin in his style of singing and although Blind Melon came out of the grunge scene and do still fall into that genre of music as well I have always felt that grunge was really just another form of blues, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam etc... so maybe grunge-blues or rock-blues or something along those lines.
Assuming that anyone else here is a fan and knows songs other than No Rain (which btw the radio/MTV version does not belong in this category but the original Ripped Away version does) and I really hope there are.
MTV calls them a "one hit wonder" even though they had at least 4 well know hits.... but who pays attention to MTV anymore?
