I just endured "I Go Blind" while at the grocery store.

[ghostsofgiants]

5. The facepalm was my reaction to the band.

:P

[Orrex]

6. Oh!

I thought it was one of those "not this shit again" complaints.

Mea culpa!

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Re:Hootie and the Blowfish

Personally,I was never a fan of Hootie and the Blowfish.

But considering they were more or less considered one hit
wonders,they had quite the following for some time.

[Pierre.Suave]

10. I prefer good music

performed by talented musicians...

[Jamastiene]

11. I loved them.

It still brings a smile to my face to hear their music. :shrug:

[davidinalameda]

12. I'm going to have that fucking song stuck in my head now

:nuke:

[MrSlayer]

13. One and done.

Three really big hits and it was over. Best left behind.

[bluesbassman]

14. Hey, don't be calling Michael Phelps names now.

:rofl:

15. Mojo Nixon says, "Hootie and the Blowfish is music to vacuum to." (nt)

[bluesbassman]

16. Or, they are to music what etch-a-sketch is to art.

How you doin' there Heidi? :hi:

[Heidi]

17. Actually, I have a high degree of respect for anyone with sufficient motor skills

to deal with an Etch-A-Sketch. :rofl:

Hiya, friend! I'm bein' bad today -- decided to space off grocery shopping. Just can't bear to trudge out into the rain and fog. x(

:*

[bluesbassman]

18. I've been bad too. Can't say how though...

don't want to see it printed in the tabloids tomorrow. :rofl:

Good to "see" you again! :hug:

[Heidi]

19. No competitive swimming for you, young man!

And I'm afraid we'll have to remove your image from 976 jillion boxes of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, as well. :rofl:

20. A pretty good band that got overexposed

Seriously, if only that debut hadn't got 15x platinum or whatever, there'd be a lot of folks looking back at Hootie and the Blowfish as this kinda quirky jangle-pop band that "should have been big." To me, they're like the nineties (in terms of the period in which they had the bulk of their success) equivalent of Peter Frampton, in that, in terms of critical treatment and the opinion of much of the music-listening population, they'd be remembered more fondly if they hadn't had substantial success.

21. hootie and the blowfish suck mighty ass

[TZ]

22. I try not to hate on them

One of their members went to HS about 2 miles from where I live..:)

[Ohio Joe]

23. I saw them live here in Columbus...

A few years ago and they were awful. Big Head Todd and the Monsters opened and they really knew how to rock.

[bigwillq]

24. I used to love them.

I even saw them in concert. I haven't heard much from them since. I guess I am still a fan though.

[Symarip]

26. I'm not defending Hootie

But if it wasn't for their popularity, I doubt we would have been graced with the greatest Burger King commercial of all time:

28. Don't like 'em, but I have one other stupid and random comment.

In Portland the two mountains that are closest and most visible are Mt. Hood and Mt. St. Helens. So I dubbed them "Hoodie and the Blowtop."
