I mean you take any kid from era after the 90's and ask them if they have ever heard of the Gin Blossoms, they say "No." Then you play them a song or 6 or 10, and they have at least more than heard of most of them. For those of us who had to live through the brilliant pain that was grunge, Gin Blossoms were that lone voice in the wilderness that kept the fun in the music, Is New Miserable Experience Sgt. Pepper's, no, but it never claimed to be, great, good time rock and roll.
The best good drunk, and bad drunk band of all time!

Gin Blossoms are a unique act.Blending rock,folk,alternative & sprinkling some country in as well.New Miserable Experience & Congratulations I'm Sorry are Classic CD's of the 90's. A must for any music fan. Hey Jealousy is their signature song but Found Out About You,29,Follow You Down,Allison Road were great songs as well.

I think Gin Blossoms could sneak in 2022 RRHOF as the number of quality bands diminishes since the great ones will be inducted already. Great Singer+Great Band =RRHOF. KING

If the Gin Blossoms ever get in, it will be a lonnnnggg time. I can't believe its been 25 years since I listened to the "New Miserable Experience" CD. "Found Out About You" and "Alison Road" are my favorites. After '96, they totally fell off the radar, in my opinion. I actually got to meet Robin (the lead singer) back in 2006(?), and he was piss-drunk but nonetheless I got him to say a liner for my radio show. Speaking of which, it's a great thing they are still performing; however they are mostly playing small venues and casinos - never thought the band would be reduced to that.

Last year I went to Tempe, Arizona and I did see a plaque dedicated to them, as they were honored in their home city's walk of fame. Hate to say it but that'll probably be the best they get, and yeah that's better than nothing.

I wouldn't support Gin Blossoms for the Hall of Fame, but I just wanted to say that I wore out my New Miserable Experience cassette in the summer of '93.

Just wanted to say that the Gin Blossoms have a new album out so they are still making them.

The Gin Blossoms are still going strong. Their latest album was "Mixed Reality" in 2019 and I think its pretty strong. Also...they remain relevant. I don't think a year has gone by where they are not touring. Five albums over the last 30 years may not seem like enough content, but they have a ton of unreleased songs. If you buy the deluxe version of "New Miserable Experience" you'll be amazed at just how many songs. I hope they get nominated.
