They hit the Billboard Hot 100 four times:
Dirty Water (#11)
Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White (#43)
Why Pick on Me (#54)
Can't Help But Love You (#78)

Plus The Boy Next Door (#102) and Riot on Sunset Strip (#133) both "Bubbled 
Under" the Hot 100.  Of course, if you define "hit" as Top 20 or Top 40 or 
"something that anyone other than people like us remembers" then they're 
right...
