Smash Mouth, in
1997, was catapulted from a mostly unknown
San Jose ska/
rock band to national fame with their single
Walkin' on the Sun. In 1997, I was ten years old. This was the first
CD I ever bought that featured one of those black-and-white labels that the
PMRC decided were necessary. Looking back at the album, it was really about as good as I thought it was then. Now, of course, I have a greater appreciation for the genre. "Walkin' on the Sun" reached #1 on
Billboard's Adult Top 40 and
Modern Rock charts. The album would go on to sell about two
million copies.
