...admit that we haven't exactly set the world on fire yet. Let's take a quick look at some of the features of our generation, what we've been able to offer to the world thus far. Contributions such as...uh...hmmm. There's so-called "alternative" rock, you know, music so edgy that you'll only find it on no fewer than four major radio stations at one time. Marcy Playground, please stand up and take a bow, then quickly return to your well-deserved obscurity...
...believer in attitude. "Just once in your life you need to have thrown a TV out a window," she says. "Or wear leather pants or get called a faggot or get called a freak or get called deranged or have insane rumors floated about you. Every single decent rock star I've ever met has had this."

Hootie brought back unabashed pop-rock, and a gaggle of other bands, including Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind and even Hanson, have followed in its footsteps. Hootie's new album isn't a breakthrough or a breakdown: it's just a healthy helping of well-crafted rock. Ballads like Only Lonely are instantly affable; other numbers, like the jazzy What's Going On Here, have the depth to earn repeated spins in your CD player. Hootie will...
