That first album was hooky inoffensive pop rock. I think some people were just ready to jump on something lighthearted after the perceived omnipresence of "depressing grunge"
But man, that album/band was completely inescapable for a year or two.

They were the Huey Lewis and the News of the 90s
It's not even close. Huey Lewis and the news were popular. Hootie and the Blowfish were inescapable.

I have to defend that album. The second half of it is pretty good. I think Drowning, Not Even The Trees and Goodbye are all solid songs
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.

I like a bunch of the hits in an 80s guilty pleasure kind of way
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.
