Re: Bands/Artists that should have been bigger
Jellyfish should've been one of the biggest pop bands of the early 90s but they are almost completely unknown. I always say Blind Melon is underrated... but I won't say they should've been much bigger. Mad Season deserves more play too.
Re: Bands/Artists that should have been bigger
Faith No More, it's been beaten to death on this forum, but still. I mean they were on the VH1 one hit wonder list! How can that be? For whatever reason they just never really sustained the commercial success in the 90's, even though they were making some of the best modern rock around then.
Linda Perry/4 NonBlondes
The Dandy Warhols
Re: Bands/Artists that should have been bigger
Linda Perry/4 NonBlondes
thats a good one...but apparently she has always preferred to be a songwriter over being a rockstar so thats why we never saw her again
FNM is a good choice too...but they were a bit too weird for the masses and they refused to go the route of the chili's and conform to the trend
Re: Bands/Artists that should have been bigger
King's X is a great choice. Thats one of those bands that hit the scene at the wrong time. Too much other interesting things going on at the time.
I didn't list Mad Season because it wasn't really meant to go anywhere. Pretty similar to Temple of the Dog. It was just a group of musicians making a killer album.
They were supposed to do a followup, but Layne's drug use got in the way.
They could have never topped the first album anyways.
Re: Bands/Artists that should have been bigger
yeah mad season was like a guy from screaming trees, a guy from pj and a guy from AIC all bands which were still very active when the album was released...
and really doubt that Laynoe woulda Gave up AIC or McCready woulda have left PJ if it really came down to it 
Temple of the dog though was more of Cornell and pearl jam dudes making a tribute to the Mother Love Bone Singer / Cornell's roomate
Vedder happened to be trying out for PJ at the time and was asked to add guest vocals during the recording...it wasnt until Grunge blew up that they all decide to release it....or someting like that..... Cornell wrote about it on the TOTD album sleeve
