By Hootie & The Blowfish

I had almost forgot how great of an album that was. Made me relive my teenage years

I miss the 90's. It was the greatest era for music aside from the 70's IMO.

It's kinda funny in a way,..we think of the 70s and 90s as a lot more guitar orientated in popular music..

Where as a lot of the 80s is remembered for the synthesizers, electronic music etc..

But the 80s arguably had better guitarists emerge, and a lot of other 70s guitarists doing their best work was in the 80s.

The 80s were extremely unique, I can't put 70s 80s or 90s as a #1 over another.

I can say the 2000s dropped the ball

Hootey, Creed, and Nu Metal was when 90s music started sucking serious arse. The first half of the 90s was solid.

I'd rank them 80s, 70s, and then 90s.

I was an '80s metalhead so most of the synth stuff was a distant second for me. Most of the guitarists from that era were amazing players.

Well the sales don’t reflect your opinion. We realize you took a sabbatical from rolling stone to be here Thanks!

I agree, but as far as "popular music" is remembered.

Unfortunately more people know of michael jackson, Madonna, soft cell and simple minds more than mayhem, bathory, deicide and possessed.

This was a local band in Ruston's album back in the 90's that was a take off of this Hootie Album's name. Pure Genius.

I'm w/you on Creed.

But bashing Hootie should be a banable offense.

Lost in all of this is that Darius Rucker has low-key had a HoF career.

I was too, although I would be more accurately described as a "hair-metalhead", because my bands were Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, Dokken, Van Halen, Ratt, Poison, Cinderella, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Scorpions, Dio, Ozzy; etc. Hell, I even had Slaughter and Winger cassettes.

Agreed. I'm just a drummer, but to me, every band I listed (and some bands I didn't list) had at least one very good guitar player.

They are still a huge act here in SC. Their Monday after the Masters event in North Myrtle Beach is always a blast. This year Ric Flair and John Daly will be there.

It's the worst fricking album by the worst fricking band in history. You have horrible taste in music.

Meh. It was a good album. Came out when I was hitting my teens. I listen to a little bit of everything.

In 1996, my freshman year of college, I got one of the very few A's my lesbian English comp professor ever gave for a piece I wrote bemoaning my disdain for all things Hootie. I really hated everything about them and still do to this day. In retrospect I will admit that Darius seems like a good dude, but I can't get past how monotoned, weak and vanilla every musical thing he has ever done is.

In short, I hate him. Feel free to disagree.

Some of the 90s albums are harder to come by because of cd.

Can look around online for some that are being recently pressed.

But idk, I get hit or miss ordering online with the jackets coming in damaged.

She has been looking for the vinyl copy since XMAS. Even the record store in Newnan that we get the majority of our vinyl from didn't have any copies.

She just happened to be looking and saw that Amazon had copies and she ordered one.
