Even aside from the earlier hits, some of the stuff from their third(?) album is well worth tracking down, especially the brilliant single Here Comes The Big Rush.

The other day I heard "No Rain" on the radio and it occurred to me that Blind Melon was such a dated band name. Like Pearl Jam, Collective Soul, Fatboy Slim, Vertical Horizon, Sonichrome...<br><br>Adjective-and-noun-that-don't-go-together = 90's. I agree.

By that time, everyone was up to their happy-trail with Bush, Wax, Sponge, Belly, Hum, and yet another band with a name copped from random noun(s) was bound to suffer no matter what they sounded like.

This is the second time I've seen it mentioned in the last two days (Scott Miller lists it in his best of 1995 over at <a href="http://loudfamily.com" rel="nofollow">loudfamily.com</a>).

Anyone who hasn't heard King of the Kerb is in for a treat. Definitely a minor Britpop classic. . Maybe it wouldve hit bigger in the states if they used the Americanized spelling. Either way, I can't kerb my enthusiasm about it. Great post. Anyone who hasn't heard King of the Kerb is in for a treat. Definitely a minor Britpop classic. .
