* DreamTeam:
** Sweet seems to have a talent for getting famous musicians to play on his albums -- aside from the ''Altered Beast'' cast, Music/VanDykeParks guests on ''Living Things'', and ''In Reverse'' also included famous session musicians Jim Keltner on drums and Carol Kaye on bass).
** Also applies on the art side as well. Roger Dean, famous for his album covers for {{Music/Yes}}, did the lettering on ''Blue Sky on Mars,'' and Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara did the illustrations for ''Kimi Ga Suki''.

For his followup ''Altered Beast'', Sweet recruited famous guest musicians such as [[Music/FleetwoodMac Mick Fleetwood]], [[Music/ElvisCostello Pete Thomas]], [[Music/BigStar Jody Thomas]], session keyboardist Nicky Hopkins and fiddle player Byron Berline, taking his PowerPop in a more [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly diverse]] direction and supplying DarkerAndEdgier lyrics. Needless to say, this confused his newfound audience and attracted lukewarm reviews. The next album, ''100% Fun'', reduced the band to its key members but otherwise continued with the DarkerAndEdgier direction (the title comes from [[Music/{{Nirvana}} Kurt Cobain's suicide note]], for starters).
