    We all have our demons...his got the best of him.

    He left behind a great words and music...but also a young daughter and grieving family.

    Soup was great forward progression...I would have loved to see where they would have gone next with Shannon.

    i can just see it now

    Blind Melon
    The Spin Doctors
    Collective Soul
    Kurt Cobain (Formerly of Nirvana)

    This week at Jimmy's Saloon.

    Only 8 dollars. 10 dollars at the door.

    Don't miss our return of the 90s weekend!

    Seriously though, the guy had a great voice and it's a shame he was lost so soon.

    Blind Melon and Nico were great albums, Soup was really cool too. They may have been a one hit wonder, but their music was really something else.

    I owned a copy of their self-titled debut album when I was in 8th grade, but never really listened to it closely. That and Soup are SUCH great albums, and have aged really well.

    Personally, I think that both Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain's legacies greatly benefited from their untimely deaths. I mean, neither one made a bad album. Not even close.

    Nirvana probably would have put out at least a few clunkers in the late 90's and early 00's, and Blind Melon very well could have too. I like the fact that everything both of them did was epic.

    One of the best voices and lyrics of all time; Blind Melon and Soup are in the top 10 albums ever in my book. Has there ever been a better 1 2 album set in history?

    Yeah, we miss you Shannon.

    But thanks for the memories.

    Great voice, great lyrics, great music.

    Soup definitely in my all time top 3 albums. Theres' just something special about that album.
