1. Sugar Ray
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qmp5Me3P5Y It's always been hard to absolutely hate Sugar Ray. They were like that kid in school that was a bit annoying and tried way too hard to be liked, but was essentially harmless. Fly and Every Morning weren't the hardest songs to tune out and ignore. They even cleverly named their third album 14:59 as a bold declaration that their fifteen minutes of fame weren't up yet. But it was. Three albums would follow into the 2000's without any real notice or care. Sugar Ray front man, Mark McGrath, started to be more known as the host on entertainment news show Extra than the singer for Sugar Ray. By 2011, only two original members, including McGrath, remained in Sugar Ray. Sure, they found replacements, but Sugar Ray without the original lineup just wasn't the same. Even if you couldn't remember who was in the original lineup. 2013 saw Mark McGrath at his most relentlessly optimistic and ambitious. In January he announced the "Mark McGrath and Friends" tour cruise. For a moderate priced ticket (or ludicrously priced) you could enjoy not only Sugar Ray but a lineup consisting of Smash Mouth, the Gin Blossoms, the Verve Pipe, Cracker, Vertical Horizon, Marcy Playground, the guy from Live, one of the guys from Collective Soul, and the Spin Doctors. While the idea of trapping people on a giant boat on the open seas with no hope of escape from the nineties nostalgia sounds like a brilliant plan for a poor man's Bond villain, the tour was canceled by February. McGrath blamed recent Carnival Cruise disasters stating, "That poop cruise did us no favors." As of yet, lack of interest was not blamed on the actual lineup of the cruise.
