  "Hits" is a relative term. You lambast the Verve and Crowded House (both
fine acts, regardless who produced them) yet shit on Alien Sex Fiend for
their failure to have a proper, radio-friendly chart-success? Incongruous.


  Alien Sex Fiend would also invariably be the first to admit that they're a
bit of a comedy act. Something wrong with that?


  In any case, ACID BATH remains -- for me -- a hugely enjoyable album.

    I'd rather have an acid bath than listen to Alien Sex Fiend Again.
Should I also listen to the Verve and Crowded House just cause Youth
produced them? And I have seen them live a couple of times in the past and
they were a bit of a comedy act, like a gothic King Kurt except not as funny
or musically talented!
    Still strugle to think of their hits though.

      Listen to ACID BATH (produced by Youth, by the way) and re-think your
statement.
