Oh and I threw Candlebox in there precisely because of the reason you touched on. It's a departure but I think that band is relatively unknown, especially to the younger generation. Everyone knows Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden but I'll bet many don't know Candlebox because they never got over that hurdle and reached stardom. Ironically these other aforementioned bands did and then some, but as we know, some took their own lives as a result which is tragic.

You're not wrong. I have never heard of Candlebox before tonight. Having only listened to the two songs you presented I'm not sure they had anything to offer that stood out as identifying their individual sound, if you know what I mean. I think it takes something different or unique for a band to "make it big". With my very limited (so far) experience with Candlebox I don't hear anything that makes them stand out.
