January 25: Tonic - Sugar
One of the best examples of a record company cocking up someone's career. Raise your hand if you remember the song "You Wanted More." Great song, right? Good riff, all over the radio, placement in the first American Pie movie. Well, it was all over the radio and in the movie in the summer of 1999. So when do you think this album came out? November 1999. So anybody that liked the song bought the American Pie soundtrack, and not the album.
I have seen Tonic play exactly one song, and it was "You Wanted More." My brother was giving me a tour of the Vandy campus in Nashville when we were in town for the Nashville New Music Conference, and we ran into Tonic soundchecking for their show on the quad that night.
Oh yeah, the rest of the album is hit-or-miss, but there's some good tracks.
