History YMMV / Jellyfish

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: [[VindicatedByHistory For it's time, at least.]] The band had the misfortune of existing during the {{Grunge}} era, meaning they were making whimsical, intricately produced music at a time when the Rock music scene was largely taking a more serious, [[ThreeChordsAndTheTruth back-to-basics]] approach. This greatly hindered their chances of success and all but guaranteed a [[ShortRunners a short lifespan]] for the band.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: During a concert the band was performing in Frankfurt, the band kept getting hassled by a particularly obnoxious [[{{Eagleland}} American]] member of the audience who kept shouting things at the band between songs until late in the show, when Andy Sturmer puts the guy in his place.
--> '''Andy:''' Look, dude. I know you're an American, but shut the [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] up.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: During the [[RogerRabbitEffect live action portion]] of the "Baby's Coming Back" music video, the ChromaKey used for the background seems to make the entire lower half of Andy Sturmer's body invisible.

** In a 1993 interview, Andy mentioned that they were also fairly popular in England and in Sweden.

* SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel: The entirety of ''Spilt Milk'' is full of so much lush production, dream-like and whimiscal melodies, and beautiful harmonies to make even the most cynical and jaded listeners have a smile on their face.
* TooGoodToLast: The band, as a whole. They only released two, commercially ignored, but highly acclaimed and influencial PowerPop albums and then broke up. Under better circumstances, they'd probably have had more success.

* GermansLoveDavidHasslehoff: The band had a pretty sizable following in Japan, even before Andy Sturmer's work with Music/PuffyAmiYumi.

* EvenBetterSequel: While ''Bellybutton'' is already considered a really good album, ''Spilt Milk'' is considered one of the greatest PowerPop albums ever made due to its lush production and whimsical melodies.
