Why does Sugar Ray have a frickin' Greatest Hits CD?

They have, what, 3 CD's or something? Most people only remember one, maybe 2 songs by them. They were pretty crappy, and now they're cashing in on the "Lets make a re-hash of all of our old music, so we can make more money" scene.

:thumbsdown:
 
I actually blurted that out when I saw they had issued a "Greatest Hits" CD. The bf just gave me the standard "Do you have to mock every commercial" look.
 
Maybe it's like the "Greatest Hits" that Sony does for the Playstation games. Where it's the same thing with an uglier cover but cheaper. 🙂
 
They're up there with Goo Goo Dolls as the greatest sellout bands of all time. They both started with ultra punk music, and they both only made the airwaves with their pop singles, so they changed their music to sound like that.

I'm not saying I wouldn't do it to make millions, but I don't have to respect those fvcks.

It's funny how he hosts Hollywood Extra now. I guess Sugar Ray broke up.

They're not such a bad band. They had a few good songs. Was singing Every Morning just this morning (because I was playing it last night on the guitar).

Great minds think alike. 😉

It seems that like every damn band/group is making a greatest hits CD. Some of them are OK, like the 311 GH, but the KoRn? :thumbsdown: to crappy remakes of Pink Floyd songs. I thought a band had to have a 10 year album history to make one too.
 
these days every freaking band comes up with BEST OF or GREATEST HITS just after releasing 2 albums....just shows how they suck
No offense to sugar ray...i dont even know how many albums they have...but I am generally mentioning it

I thought so, too....but:
Their first album was released 10 years ago.

They've had 3 multi-platinum albums.

They've had 9 hits on the charts, so that's about enough to make a greatest hits album if that's what you want to do.
9 songs on the charts
203 weeks on the charts
On 16 different charts
Total of 844 days on the charts in all.

"Fly" was a #1 hit.

Not defending them, just the facts.
Sugar Ray's okay with me, but I generally think that you don't release a greatest hits album until the band is done. But it happens all the time, so what do I know?
 
Correct me If I'm wrong, but wasn't Fly off of their fist album? That was like '98 '99, if i remember right (all is fuzzy in the memories of childhood)
 
Yeah, I had a similar comment when i was looking over the list of 'hits CDs' packed inside the last CD I bought "Toto Super Hits" (I :heart: toto, but their hits were rarely 'super' in sheer sales)

The one that struck me the most was "Peabo Bryson: Super Hits" -- which I suggested was a "Peabo Bryson: Super Hit CD single"

WTF? Sugar Ray and the Goo Goo Dolls were ultra punk bands? Either I don't know much about the beginnings of these bands, or our views of "ultra punk music" greatly differ...
 
Artists put out greatest hits/best of collections either to make money or fulfill contractural obligations. Artists with integrity frequently do the latter so they can change labels.
