lol My dad always talks about this one. Says he saw the Sweet live in New Zealand and "Ballroom Blitz" rocked so hard the crowd were screaming for them to turn it down. His first rockstar experience.

And there's "Little Willy"...


My favorite Sweet song is "Love Is Like Oxygen"...the album version, not the single version. I still need to buy a compilation with the long version but I don't which one has it.

Now THAT'S what I'm talkin about! They used to play the long version on one of the Classic Rock stations in my area, but since Clear Channel took over the airwaves....disbelief

The big drums. It's all about THE BIG DRUMS!

Yeah, I love The Sweet. I have all of their albums man. This cut inspired the song "Time Warp" from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Don't know if u r hip to that, but that's a great soundtrack from that movie. Anyway, as far as The Sweet, "Lady Starlight" is the shit. Very T-Rex. That's my boy too, Marc Bolan. I know his son, Rolan.

That's it. Like with Bowie's son. Zowie Bowie. Same thing.
