Talk:Sugar Ray

Untitled
How is there no talk about how these dudes sold out? I don't throw that phrase around lightly, but the difference between their first two albums and the later ones is evident. Cdwillis 11:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I pulled Answer the Phone, Hey Bartender and Is She Really Going Out With Him? off of the hit singles list, as none of them charted significantly.
 * I re-removed them

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but this page is an insult to Sugar Ray's career. Extremely poorly made. Have you seen the other pages of musicians on wikipedia, take Incubus or My Chemical Romance for example? Detailed and informative. It doesn't seem like you have any interest in the band whatsoever, which makes it a drag to read. I mean, you don't even have a picture! I hope you take this as constructive. JJ

Why don't you fix it yourself then? For most people, Sugar Ray will only be remembered for the Nicole Eggert cover and Triumph The Insult Comic Dog.

That's fair enough, but to be honest i'd never heard of triumph till u mentioned him just then though. I'm not a major fan either, in case that's what you were thinking, just thought I might as well tell you what i thought. JJ

Changing the word "incessant" to "frequent" when talking about the radio play of "Fly". Incessant has negative connotations and probably violates neutrality.

I'm willing to fix this page as well as some of their albums. I don't have that much time on my hands, but I'll make an extra effort in my free time to help get some more info on both the band and their albums pages. I'll be trying to focus on that this week. It's not that I particularly am a fan of the band, but come on, even Vanilla Ice has a cleaner page than this.--TheGreatestofalltime 07:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Intereasting, why isn't the 14.59 song named Abracadabra mentioned? Abracadabra on YouTube I can't fix it myself, because the artichle has been locked. Absurd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.235.200.78 (talk) 17:22, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

I made a major content edit, and the page looks a lot better now. Let me know what you think. --rg998

Discography - Singles
Would somebody please make a complete list of Sugar Ray's singles. I'd be happy to, but unfortunately I don't have any info. I think the following may have been released as singles:
 * Caboose (from Lemonade & Brownies)
 * 10 Seconds Down (from Lemonade & Brownies)
 * Iron Mic (from Lemonade & Brownies)
 * RPM (from Floored)
 * American Pig (from Floored)

Can anyone confirm this? Geeky Randy 22:10, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Third-wave ska group?
Where does this category come from? Specifically, the category is the ONLY mention of ska on the page. I feel if they're included in the group, the genre should either be mentioned under their influences or songs that fall under this should be mentioned as an example of it being part of their style. I won't remove it now because I don't really know much of them outside their singles, but if someone could cite something to confirm their categorization IN the page, that'd be appreciated.76.182.10.100 (talk) 00:20, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Asia is a Country?
There's a quote from SingFest 2007 stating that Asia is a country:

"An exception to this was during mid 2007, with their inclusion of the previously unreleased song "Into Yesterday" on the Surf's Up movie soundtrack, and a brief tour in Asia in August 2007 where they headlined SingFest, the nation's first international music festival.[3]"

When did Bullock join?
In the history section of the article, only the four white guys are mentioned. When and how did Bullock get involved with the group? That information should be added to that section. Aristophanes 68  (talk)  01:08, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Ska punk
This keeps on being added, without source or explanation. Can someone provide some reliable sources that say that anyone labels them like this, let alone having it be their defining genre? I don't believe they're typically considered punk or ska honestly. Sergecross73  msg me  17:57, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
