anybody remember this rad motherfucking band from the 70s?

Ballroom Blitz?
Fox On the Run?
Little Willie?
Love Is Like Oxygen?

IMO, one of the great and truly underrated hard rock bands of all time

LOL The Sweet were not hard rock - they were a pop / glam rock band.

okay, the early Chapman/Chinn-penned singles were pretty delightfully cheesy

But FF to later years, like 'Sweet F.A.' and 'Action' - they rock hard! The guitar solo at the end of Sweet FA in particular is totally over the freaking top - it's glorious

And I HATE when radio stations play the single edit of "Love Is Like Oxygen," that really annoys me.

Are you from Britain? I ask because it's usually the Brits who call them The Sweet, like some Brits used to call Cream The Cream. Americans just call them Sweet.

love is like oxygen...you get too much, you get too high...not enough, and you're gonna die...

the non-edited version of "love is like..." is the shit.

Damn straight! I love the BIG DRUMS.

Desolation Boulevard was one of my 11 albums for a penny I got when I joined the Columbia Record and Tape Club as a teen in the 70's! I still have it and of course their greatest hits on CD.

actually I'm a yank and just prefer calling them 'Sweet', but wanted to avoid confusion with the movie, "Dude, Where's My Car?!!"

Ahh. I see.
