Hootie will be elected in the RRHOF someday.Cracked Rear View was just a Classic CD. It sold over 20 million CD's + off the top of my head. So many Hits Let Her Cry,Hannah Jane,Hold My Hand,etc. Rucker was also a Great vocalist & his success in country music shows his talent. I thought Fairweather Johnson was a strong follow up.
These guys should make it but it is so difficult to be inducted.Chicago,Deep Purple,Def Leppard,& Duran Duran are still waiting for election. KING

Their first record was in 1994. That means they won't be eligible until 2019.

Their first demo was in 1991.

The demo doesn't count. The eligibility year should be changed.

How did Hootie & The Blowfish learn about 54-40?

Hootie may have a small sample size so far but the extreme quality of their music makes them must for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
