Everyone needs a serving of Sweet in their lives. "Love Is Like Oxygen" and "Action" are a couple other favorites of mine.

[@TucBroder]

I love Ballroom Blitz... amazing song.

[@honeylambb9864]

@@TucBroder- Ballroom Blitz was one of those songs that the very first time you heard it you would go WOW. Ballroom Blitz was way ahead of its time and so were the Sweet. They were maybe too ahead of their time and they did not get the recognition they deserved in America. I heard that they had kind of bad management over in England and they were not promoted as well as they should have been even over in England where they were from. The managers rob them blind too because the guys in the band were so young and not very good businessmen but everyone of them were great musicians and really good-looking too.

[@pamnicklas5536]

The great John Bonham said that the drummer Mick Tucker was one of the most underrated drummers to come out of the UK. This is one of my most favorite songs of that era. I still own the 45!

Glad you did some Sweet, my favourite band of all time. Been a Sweet fan 47 years.

❤️❤️❤️❤️so sad there’s only one left now. R.I.P. Brian, Mick and Steve. So very loved❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@daveowens9849]

This song was released in March, 1975, when I was a senior in high school. Seventeen years old, mired in puberty, running on the varsity track team as a long distance runner. 8 tracks, 33 1/3 albums, and 45 singles. Cruisin' in a 2 door 1968 Ford Galaxie 500, navy blue, 351 engine, and I worked after school for a veterinarian. I first heard Sweet back in 1972 when their biggest hit in the U.S., "Little Willy" caught my attention on WOWO out of Fort Wayne. Glam Rockers to the end, Sweet's album "Desolation Boulevard" was first released in Great Britain, but they actually went into the recording studio and reworked "Fox on the Run" and the album to a more pop oriented song style directed at the American market. This song climbed to #5 on the hit list. "Little Willy" landed at #3. I still own Sweet's compact discs and they'll always be that guilty pleasure from back in the day. Rock On! Far Out, Man! Ohhh....she's a fox!

64 1/2 Falcon Sprint convertible, then a 57 Fairlane 500, followed by a baby blue 64 Impala, finishing with a 62 Impala that I bought for $49.63...Then the Corps in 76. Sold the 62 for $75 just before I left. Liked Bolan and T-rex more, but I had Desolation Blvd too. Had a 4 track player in the Falcon but about the best tape I had was "Alice's Restaurant"...

Sweet my first musical heroes! Pure excellence!

[@julieavila1795]

glam, glitter, great 70's lyrics. Metal was born from this

[@andyfletcher3561]

Metal was already around. "Helter Skelter", Zeppelin 1, and "In a Gadda Davida" were all released in '68. Steppenwolf had already been around. Bowie, The Who, Pink Floyd, and so many others before 1970.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

Besides dancing to it in the seventies, we were skating to it.

70s Music … comes through again - as always

[@stranger396]

Sweet - Little Willy

[@jstube36]

Finally one of these reaction channels does Sweet. I began listening to them when I was about 5 in the mid-70's. Brian Connoly with Lead Vocals, Andy Scott(Guitar), Steve Priest(Bass) also provided great vocals. And Mick Tucker is one of the best drummers one will ever hear. Here's some other great tunes from Sweet-Action, Lies In Your Eyes, Lady Starlight, No You Don't, Madusa, Burn On The Flame. Just to name a few.

[@23skidoo46]

im not sure ppl really realize how influential these guys really were. From punk to metal of the 80's they influenced a ton of bands. great band

[@60sbaby70sgirl]

There was a jukebox in the teen center in my small town growing up that had very few songs on it and this was one of them. It got played over and over and over. It spilled out onto the street on Saturday night where the cars were doing the loop around main street (we are talking small town, small loop). Anyway, I have good memories of it. Brian Connolly had such a beautiful voice. If you want to hear them do more harmonies on more of an acoustic song you need to listen to You're Not Wrong for Loving Me or some of the really really early stuff like Slow Motion (The Sweet). They were also part of glam rock and wore some pretty interesting costumes with Ballroom Blitz, Wig Wam Bam, etc. Besides this song, I really like Love is Like Oxygen and The Sixteens. Mick Tucker is also an underrated drummer. I hope you listen to more of them.

[@andyfletcher3561]

The Sixteens is great. Forgot about that one.

[@TELFORD96]

Listen to a ballad called Laure lee by Sweet. I'm sure You'll like it.

[@ronelblignaut]

"Ballroom Blitz" by The Sweet also a great song...

[@barbaramatthews4735]

Good song. I used to listen when I was a kid. I would have been about 7 when it was released. Back then all of the adults in my life loved music and I was exposed to a wide range of music.

[@NZLatic]

One of the very best glam rock bands. Awesome vocals/harmonies and great musicianship. Glam bands were huge in the 70’s and 80’s and almost became extinct until The Darkness came along in the early 2000’s, and that is a band you just have to check out in the future.

[@robhanhart2730]

Glad you like it, this was a very populair band in the 70's. I'm still a big Sweet-fan from Holland and some songs can be timeless, Sweet songs do have that! Listen also to their albums and s-sides of their singles...

I have heard of Sweet for decades, and was consciously aware of a couple of their songs, which I connected with the name (Love Is Like Oxygen, and Little Willie), and although I've heard this song hundreds of times in my life, I don't know if I ever connected it with The Sweet, because of DJs not doing the ONE job they have...which is musical education. But I won't get on that rant again, lol.

[@cheshorcatbeats1273]

[@mysterymac38]

Sweet started off writing novelty type songs and slowly merged into an outstanding pop/rock group. I think I read that Queen was inspired by there harmonies.

[@onsesejoo2605]

At their time, they were deemed as a bubblegum band. However their abilities on their instruments were never questioned. At one early point in their career, future Deep Purple Ian Gillan replaced Brian Connolly in a band called Wainwright's Gentlemen. That band also featured another future Sweet member, the drummer Mick Tucker. He and Connolly formed a band Sweetshop.
