the obvious answer, Sugar Ray's ablum Floored. Everyone bought it for Fly, everyone then found out that was the ONLY song on the album that was a catchy pop song. rest of it was like Metal/Nu-Metal. Of course the album sold like hot cakes purely for the song and thus Sugar Ray went from a nu-metalish band to pop.

This was exactly the one that first came to mind for me. But then the band leaned HARD into that sound. Which, admittedly was better than the rest of Floored. I think that was the most disappointing part - not that the rest of the album was different, just that it wasn't good. I'll shit on the band and McGrath without hesitation, but they had a good run of catchy, fun pop songs. Shout out to their song "Rivers" from the Scream 2 soundtrack. A great Weezer tribute.
