Hootie & the Blowfish - Cracked Rear View

Label: Atlantic
Genre: Dad Rock
Year: 1994
Recommended By: Jeff Sherry

I am of the belief that Hootie & the Blowfish brought back Dad Rock. Steely Dan has long had the corner on Dad Rock, but Hootie & the Blowfish brought it back into the forefront. Nothing is wrong with Dad Rock, it's just that Dad's love it. Pearl Jam has become Dad Rock. 

Hootie has since gone solo and only found country success covering popular songs. The other members have become successful musicians, but not famous. 

Before all that they made a record which sold more than any other in 1995. I believe between Hootie & the Blowfish and Blues Traveler Dad Rock was king for 1994 and 1995. Good job Dad Rock.
