Before the internet came along and essentially rendered them useless, a good music video was key to a song's success.

Make a good video, and your song might just end up in heavy rotation on MTV! That's when you know you've made it to the big leagues.

One band who discovered this for themselves are Blind Melon, aka the group behind 1992's No Rain.

The second single from their self-titled debut album, No Rain grew in popularity through its inventive music video and the character of Bee Girl. She was a girl who dressed as a bee. What more do you want?

It might not be to everyone's tastes, but No Rain sold extremely well. In went Silver in the UK, shifting over 200,000 copies, and it charted at number 17 in the country's rankings.

Unfortunately, this would be the pinnacle of this band's career. Their next biggest hit was the song Change, which only reached 35 in the UK.

Back home, the band haven't appeared in the Billboard charts at all since No Rain came out.

Oh dear.
