Performer: Tonic
Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Tonic amassed a total of six charting Billboard singles between 1996 and 2002--enough for a greatest hits album, but not a long one; and at 12 songs, CASUAL AFFAIR: THE BEST OF TONIC is certainly not long. Released as a tie-in for the band's 2009 reunion tour, CASUAL AFFAIR has all those hits--the biggest of which is 1997's "If You Could Only See," which reached number one on Mainstream Rock, and "Open Your Eyes" and "You Wanted More," which also reached the Mainstream Top 10--plus six other highlights from their three albums, adding live versions of "Sugar" and "Irish" as well as an acoustic version of "You Wanted More."
The late-'90s witnessed a plethora of groups that specialized in mature, pop-friendly alternative rock, namely Goo Goo Dolls, Matchbox 20, and Tonic. Although Tonic didn't rack up a monster hit a la the aforementioned bands, their first two releases, LEMON PARADE and SUGAR, sold impressively and steadily on the strength of several moderate radio/MTV hits.
