...but no-one else seems to have heard of them :confused:

I've given their albums to friends to listen to and all I get is a luke warm response

Am I the only person that totally loves this band?!

There's a quote from The Simpsons that you won't like:

Chief Wiggum is using Bart to try and catch Fat Tony dealing in illegal fireworks, he tapes a recorder to Bart's stomach and says something along the lines of:

Wiggum: "Try and get him to admit to what he's doing, and it'll be recorded on this tape,

Bart: "But this is a Hootie and the Blowfish tape?"

Wiggum: "Yeah it's cheaper than blank tape..."

Come on, Cracked Rear View sold 16 million copies, someone must listen to them

They seemed to be more of a US college phenomenon. You probably won't find many UK fans.

the only thing i know of them is that thing from friends:

Rachel: what is that?
Monica: That would be the work of a blowfish.

I own Cracked Rear View, bought it more out of curiosity than anything. I think it's ok, not spectacular or groundbreaking, but hardly a bad album.

Cracked Rear View is my favourite album!

i discovered them when i was in florida and Only Wanna be with you had just came out. I love them.
Seen them twice back in 96 and 97 in glasgow, rocked the place. Two of the best gigs i have ever been too.
They seemed to have slipped a wee bit, but looking for lucky is a great album, problem was cracked rear view was just so damn good lol
