Hootie and the Blowfish
Arriving right in the midst of grunge's peak, a hip hop explosion, and edgy alternative rock like Weezer and GBV, the smooth and unoffensive South Carolina group Hootie and the Blowfish were perfectly positioned to become a cultural punching bag.

The Kinks Are Better Than The Stones
These two legendary bands came out of the gate at the same time as part of a British Invasion that still resonates today, 60 years later. They both sold countless millions of albums, but took decidedly different paths over the subsequent decades: one to the Village Green and the other to Exile. Guest defender Ari Vais joins the show to make the case that it is The Kinks – not the Rolling Stones – who are in fact the world's greatest rock and roll band.
