GLAM ROCK AT IT'S BEST
If any group epitomised the garish silliness and wild abandon of the 70's it was Sweet. with the fusion of simple catchy melodies through to the crunching fuzzy guitars which helped make arguably the definitive sound of the glam rock period. Who else would think to use fan's chanting we want Sweet on there no1 single "Teenage Rampage" This cd has it all from there no1 smash hit "Blockbuster" to "fox on the run" Also included are there classic uk single's "hell raiser" "Wig wam bam" through to "co co" and "Funny Funny" I f you only buy 1 Sweet cd this year make it this one
F-Foxy, Fox on the Run and Hide Away
The Sweet represented Glam Rock at its most extreme and silly but with a lot of great music.
The main highlights are Ballroom Blitz, Wigwam Bam and the outstanding, forgotten classic Fox on the Run. Blockbuster and Little Willy are other fine songs. In truth, the whole album is a fine collection of top glam rock. Great music for driving and going to work to get you up in the morning.
While not quite as great as many other top rock bands on the 1970s it is well worth buying, for the sheer fun of it alone.
