Damn straight their first 2 albums were awesome, especially Soup. and the song "Soup" from Nico was awesome as well. Rest easy Shannon, we love you and miss you.
Very good point. It's almost like calling the Grateful Dead a one-hit wonder after 'Touch Of Gray". Blind Melon was as much a "one-hit wonder" as Ava Gardner was a "female".
It would appear they only had one chart hit in the US (and quite a number of other countries). They had 3 top 10 singles in the UK (4 if you go top 20). I agree however that they had many more great songs and albums. Again in the US they only had 1 top 20 album (much the same elsewhere) apart from the UK where 3 studio albums went top 10 (The live album also went top 10 in the UK). The only album that charted properly elsewhere was "Fire And Water" which is bloody criminal in my mind. As a comparison 4 Bad Company albums went top 10 in the US (same in the UK). Mind only 2 singles went top 10. US and 2 top 20 in UK. I would agree that unlike most of the other acts mentioned here Free had an actual successful career as a touring band releasing albums of note. If anything this list shows how dumb many record buyers are when it comes to great music!
Shannon could have gone on to do many opportunities His poor mom just recently asked to discontinue his memorial vigil, she’s older now. What a waste of his life
I was curious and googled. It seems Blind Melon had 2 top 10s in the US (3 if you say top 30). So at least one country can say that they aint a one hit wonder!
I agree, but that's really expensive for the content creator. I'm sitting with Spotify open in the background so I can look up which song they are talking about...
Blind Melon is still one of my all ti.e favorite bands man . Shannon Honne FOREVER! such an amazing writer musician and vocalist. I think Shannon's death is one of rock's most devastating events right up there with Kirk Cobian. To imagine how far they would have gone the entire band was so awesome
Funny thing is in school he was a straight a student Lettered in several sports Short hair he was a total geek Then he graduated started singing for a local band and discovered Marijuana and went down hill from there I know this because I went to school with him
it is said if we live life fast enough it could burn out just as quick. rest brothers n sisters you gave us your best and you are remembered for it always!
I’ve often wondered if Blind Melon recorded that video on the same hill as the Windows XP wall paper. That’s the kind of shit that keeps me up at night 😂
They definitely shouldn't have been a one. Hit wonder if you look up their songs. He sang with guns and roses and he also had a couple of definitely dope songs that just did not get the air time like I wonder. Rest in peace, Shannon
He had 4 songs reach the Top 100, with one reaching #4 and the other hitting #1. He might be best remembered for one song, but he's not a "one-hit wonder".
Then please name more than one hit. Having just one hit is literally the only criteria for being referred to as such… no matter how much you like a band. Top 40 according to Billboard magazine. That’s the bar.
I don't know these bands but may have known the songs. Not playing at least a snippet of the songs seems to be a Major oversight and kept me from going more than a couple of minutes in. All else seemed good for the few minutes I listened.

Producers, how about you play some of the hit song from each band instead of talk talk talking over it. It’d be good to know what songs you’re saying was a hit because saying the title isn’t enough for most of these obscure bands.
Blind Melon had more than one hit. I'm not even a fan and I can name another one: mouth full of cavities. This is not simply an opinion. It was highly marketed, highly touted, and highly celebrated. Do better diligence.
@steveramsey6562 Even if they had established that, a top 40 song is only subjectively a hit. This is why there are 'hit lists' that encapsulate many different totals.
@@joesantos2455 "Mouthful of cavities" wasn't even released as a single, yet you call it a "hit". That kind of invalidates everything else you've said.
So the guy from Charles and Eddie died. Shame I never liked Would I Lie to You. Personally one one hit wonder I remember that died early was the rapper Snow with Informer. Also Mr Blobby. I think it was his association with a TV show called Noel's House Party and the tragic demise of someone they pressured into doing a bungee jump coupled with the character being very irritating that he got canned.
Do your homework better!!! "One-hit wonder" implies an artist had no success beyond a single song. As well as four UK Top 10 singles, Free had several albums that sold very well, seven of which charted in the Top 10 in the UK album chart.
Who was your favorite one-hit wonder?
You couldn’t put the girl from the Divines? Her great one-hit-wonder “I touch myself”! She sadly died of a horrible illness. She was so GORGEOUS
Jane Child. And your title was inaccurately click-baity.
I just filed this under the heading “Whatever”.
When I was a Child, Singing Nun and Tiny Tim were everywhere. You could not get their one hits out of your head. Now they are back in my head. Thanks!
God. Shannon Hoon reminds me allot of Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone fame. Both died of an overdose 😪
Blind Melon may have only had one hit but they are no "one hit wonders". There is a difference, a BIG one.
Damn straight their first 2 albums were awesome, especially Soup. and the song "Soup" from Nico was awesome as well. Rest easy Shannon, we love you and miss you.
They made real music... it has soul... it moves you. They don't have a bad album. So sad, such a loss.
Amen!
Very good point. It's almost like calling the Grateful Dead a one-hit wonder after 'Touch Of Gray". Blind Melon was as much a "one-hit wonder" as Ava Gardner was a "female".
I still love Blind Melon
The truly awfully tragic is Grunge not paying to hear any of these one-hit wonders.
Please never refer to Free as a one-hit wonder. Andy Frasier was a musical genius.
Well …they had …one hit 🤔
Who?
People think they had more hits because Paul Rodgers and the drummer formed Bad Company which had quite a few hits
It would appear they only had one chart hit in the US (and quite a number of other countries). They had 3 top 10 singles in the UK (4 if you go top 20).

They didn't even mention Paul Kossoff dying in 75
That one bend in the guitar solo on No Rain gets me every time!
Look into their "best of" album if you dont already have it. I still listen to it often.
Shannon could have gone on to do many opportunities
His poor mom just recently asked to discontinue his memorial vigil, she’s older now. What a waste of his life
I was in line at the show when they found him 😭
Blind Melon's debut album was released in Sept 1992 No Rain was their 2nd single released in early 1993 sometimes
I was curious and googled. It seems Blind Melon had 2 top 10s in the US (3 if you say top 30). So at least one country can say that they aint a one hit wonder!
Such a irritation. Would like to have heard the music
I agree, but that's really expensive for the content creator. I'm sitting with Spotify open in the background so I can look up which song they are talking about...
The first Blind Melon record was awesome. "Paper Scratcher" and "Tones of Home" are my 2 favorites.
Change and TOH are great
I was in 13-14 years old, when Free’s song All Right Now came out. It was one of my favorite songs to dance to!!
Blind Melon is still one of my all ti.e favorite bands man . Shannon Honne FOREVER! such an amazing writer musician and vocalist. I think Shannon's death is one of rock's most devastating events right up there with Kirk Cobian. To imagine how far they would have gone the entire band was so awesome
*Hoon
Be nice to actually hear their songs
Paul Roger's is one of the best vocalists in rock n roll.
Tiny Tim hung around long enough to wish us Beatles Fan Club members Merry Christmas along with a memorable rendition of "Nowhere Man".
I find it hilarious a nun owing taxes.
Barry Sadler and Bobby Fuller were also one-hit wonders with bizarre tragic ends!
Shannon Hoon loved his drugs, and not even the birth of his daughter could make him stop. So sad the way he died in some parking lot.
Funny thing is in school he was a straight a student Lettered in several sports Short hair he was a total geek Then he graduated started singing for a local band and discovered Marijuana and went down hill from there I know this because I went to school with him
@@larryhullinger4141he was a great athlete. Very handsome guy.

I have heard that Herb Khaury aka Tiny Tim was also a former professional baseball player although not in the major leagues.
Shannon Hoon missed the 27 club by one year. R.I.P. Shannon 😢.
Charles and Eddie OMG My Favourite Song 'Would I Lie To You'
How Bizarre is a great song 😊
One of my favorite guilty pleasures! 😊
Should've added snippets of the songs to know what is what.
Hey thanks for actually playing parts of the songs atleast. 😆😆😆
They definitely shouldn't have been a one. Hit wonder if you look up their songs. He sang with guns and roses and he also had a couple of definitely dope songs that just did not get the air time like I wonder. Rest in peace, Shannon
blind melon had other amazing songs... I disagree with them being a one hit wonder.
Love Jennifer Paige
That first Blind Melon album is one of my fav albums of all time and one of the few albums I can listen to from front to back without skipping a song
Their second album is amazing. Give it a go!
That one hit that kills you
Contrarily to popular belief, Blind Melon had so many more better songs than No Rain.
Couldn't agree more. Mouth full of cavities gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
@@frogstomp11 And Galaxie. And Change. And Tones of Homes.
You forgot Vanilla Ice.🐻❄
He had 4 songs reach the Top 100, with one reaching #4 and the other hitting #1. He might be best remembered for one song, but he's not a "one-hit wonder".

3:47 Car jacking?!?!🤯
What a stone bummer.
Blind melon had some really good songs
Never heard of any of them.
You should had an extract of the songs...
This guys mouth never stops
It's insulting to put Free among these never-heards.
Joy & Pain by Rob Base & EZ Rock was a great song
The blind melon song should never have been a hit. I think it was the bizarre Video on MTV
I don't know these bands but may have known the songs. Not playing at least a snippet of the songs seems to be a Major oversight and kept me from going more than a couple of minutes in. All else seemed good for the few minutes I listened.
Add Oliver Anthony to the list.

It's common knowledge why the Singing Nun and her partner committed suicide. Very coy of your channel to omit its disclosure.

Free were not a one hit wonder
Blind melon had other hits on mtv, fake news channel

They had one hit on the US top forty which is what they're going by, No Rain, made it to number 20, that's it.

@@joesantos2455 A song being in the Top 100 isn't subjective, it's based on sales & airplay. It's as objective as anyone could get.
@THE_bchat you would be right if there weren't many top 100 lists in many different countries. Also: it would STILL BE SUBJECTIVE.

You guys butchered everything about rob base & dj ez rock.."House music beats"? Straight hatchet job. Even the overdubs are garbage..

Real
The singing nun story sounds like murder.
Hip hop rap is simply hillarious. How can one not bust out laughing whenever they see , or hear this stuff. Nah , give me music
Enjoy your music but it is pure ignorance to attack another's choice because their choices don't match yours. That is sad
@@soulsnatcha402 what is sad is calling rap music. Its like calling mud food
