I fail to see the connection between Darius Rucker's and Scott Stapp's singing. Nor any connection between Hootie and the Blowfish and Creed for that matter, aside from the fact both can be vaguely classified as 'Rock'.

I'm rather partial to several of their songs, but they aren't ranked in any favorites list I might conjure up.

The 'if they sell millions of records it means they don't suck' argument is rather flawed - there are more issues and pressures involved in bands that sell like that. Much of it is due to corporate influence and demography rather than being purely weighted on talent. If the market was decided solely on talent and competitiveness and visibility were due strictly from talent, there would have been no bubblegum pop explosion in the late 90s, Post-Grunge wouldn't have survived past 2000 (and if it did, it wouldn't look anything like it does now), and the radio wouldn't have been flooded with pop-punk or bands being pawned off under genre names they clearly are not a part of (the 'Emo' and 'Post-Hardcore' bands MTV and the like hawk these days). The list goes on.

Just Because you dont like a band Clearly Doesnt Mean they suck, im not a Fan but still, proving therefor no matter what, you Are Wrong.
Yeah, but imagine having to put up with a band whose music sucks and they get played a lot on your favorite Adult Contemporary Station, you'd be whining too. O__o

I think that the amount of records they have sold indicates that your position is wrong.
Yeah, but I can't stand their music. Despite what the stats say (and I've looked online, too).
Me and some other folks who can't stand their music.
Martin Page's music is better.

Amen, that argument is a fallacy. Hootie is overrated. I can name a bunch of artists and musicians who sing better and have more pleasing-to-the-ear music than Hootie. Hootie is monotonous and vapid. LOL

i agree.if they sold alot of records then (no offense) obviously alot of people like them or there's only one person that likes them and is buying alot of albums, though that highly im-possible.
(see answer above).
Well, does anyone think their music sucks besides that fact?
Vapid and monotonous singing and music that does not touch the heart?
I actually wish there was a petition out that took them off, cuz I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing Hootie and the Blowfish would go'on somewhere... ROFL!!!
I've seen folks talk about how bad their music was online. Just gotta find 'em.

I do have my own stations at Yahoo and Pandora, but I don't always have the time to listen to them, cuz I have things to do!
I created this thread as a survey as to who actually hates this band and likes it, now am I wrong for it?

Then turn the dial and listen to another station, or call the station up and request something different. When will the American Public realize that the power is in their hands?

Thought about e-mailing but I thought I'd be in the minority for some reason...

They're mediocre. I did enjoy their music, my little 9 year old self. But I do still enjoy some of their songs. They didn't really do anything special or new. But they were catchy.

But you're listening to an adult contemporay station, you put that on yourself.

And no, just because a band sells millions of records doesn't automatically make them good or super talented. Britney Spears comes to mind. There a lot of underground artists or jsut artists MTV and the radio won't play because they aren't marketable enough, but have been a lot more innovative and original than a lot of the pop stars have been.
