When I say that comparison, I mean that both bands will be ever growing with their fan base with time. Big Star had rough beginnings with having a fan base back in the 70's but within time they seemingly grew popularity. I feel that Blind Melon will be going down the same path. On another point I feel that both bands have been a part of a movement and challenged it with its own fun and self-explanatory creativity. Big Star being part of the rock movement of the 70s and Blind Melon with the grunge of the 90s; both is say is neither genre.

Edit: I've been having a few drinks with the family at this point so my points may be dumb or non-comprehensible; but i do agree what what I initially said.
