Which American rock band had more hit singles, after changing to a more mainstream pop music style, Blind Melon or Sugar Ray?
Sugar Ray Sugar Ray is an American rock band formed in 1986. The band, starting off more as a funk metal band, gained mainstream fame in 1997 with their release of the song "Fly". This song's success, coupled with its pop rock sound that was quite different from the rest of their material at the time, led the band to change to a mainstream, pop music style. Subsequent albums shared this style, and the band landed a number of hits with "Every Morning" and "Someday" from "" and "When It's Over" from their self-titled album.
Shaving Peaches Shaving Peaches was the follow-up to Terrorvision's 1996 album "Regular Urban Survivors". It found Terrorvision heading in a more chart-oriented pop direction with co-production from Edwyn Collins. Here, the band push their sound further than before, veering away from metal towards a soft rock sound that uses actual electronic beats. Tracks such as "Day After Day" and "When I Die" retain the melancholy that featured on earlier albums, whilst the rest of the album follows the template of the positive and upbeat single, "Tequila".
