CD Review: Sugar Ray's 'The Best of Sugar Ray'

Sugar Ray's 'The Best of Sugar Ray': Aidin Vaziri | Five reasons why this album will make you split your pants laughing: 1) It's called "The Best of Sugar Ray" -- and it has more than one song on it. 2) You've probably forgotten that one song, "Fly," included a reggae breakdown featuring a cameo by dance-hall MC Super Cat, rendering it totally useless. 3) It's called a "best of" album, yet contains quite a bit of filler. 4) Among the filler: A tune written by Howard Stern ("Psychedelic Bee"), pre-"Fly" material ("Rhyme Stealer") and -- drumroll, please -- wonky covers (Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time"). 5) People who bought this album also bought: Hootie & the Blowfish, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Incubus.
