Blind Melon

Blind Melon is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Blind Lemon Jefferson, Guns N' Roses, Axl Rose, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.

They run in the same orbit as Days of the New, Collective Soul, Toadies, Jerry Cantrell and Porno for Pyros, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Revis, AWOLNATION and Candlebox, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
