Heated by Big Sugar
Heated is an album by Big Sugar, released in 1998. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Turn the Lights On”, on 1 list with a best position of #160.
Heated, Big Sugar's fourth album, came out on A&M in 1998, and it's Gordie Johnson's show all the way: the Toronto band's founder sings, plays lead guitar and writes most of the songs. The tone is thick, swaggering, heavy-bottomed rock, and Johnson's guitar does most of the talking, right down to a cover of Bachman-Turner Overdrive's "Let It Ride".
Canada ate it up: the album went platinum there, selling more than 100,000 copies. American fans got it in 1999 on Capricorn, with a different cover and "Diggin' a Hole" from Hemi-Vision added, since that album never came out in the US. "Turn the Lights On", "Better Get Used To It" and "The Scene" all turned up on countdowns. Chauffe à bloc came next.
