Bands like Sweet and all the other glam rockers of the 70's will never be repeated, I feel so privileged to have been in my prime then.

[@lewisner]

Greta Van Fleet have a 70s vibe and they are incredible live.

[@ste123456754]

me too what a great time we had

[@mikeace5831]

I agree it's so unique we lived in a Renaissance

[@lorrainemee9801]

Me too , such wonderful memories

[@melisssssaaaaa6093]

Fantastic times, great school discos with Sweet, Slade, Sparks, Roxy Music, TRex, Wizzard, ELO, Elton, etc. Many happy memories of my flares and platform shoes(tried to play football in platforms - wasn't a good idea busted ankle).😎

[@robertvalentine123]

It breaks my heart that Sweet never went into realise their true potential as a massive stadium band. It all ended too early. RIP Brian, Mike and Steve and thank you for the memories. The best glam rock band of the 70s. We want sweet. ❤️.

[@freemanbynature]

We want sweet.

[@davegink9222]

That’s because their music was bipolar. I love the Sweet, they are one of my favorite bands! But I love them for their heavier, harder edged music. Not for songs like Little Willy. I believe if they would’ve stuck to their more technical, heavier stuff, and away from the bubble gum/pop songs, they would’ve achieved that. Just my opinion.

[@matti9602]

I think you should read a book about Sweet. I do not remember the name of the book, but Sweet was booked as warm up band/ guest band for The Who tour in USA, because Pete Townshend was HUGE Sweet fan. Brian got into in a bar fight just before The Who tour and The Sweet could not tour with The Who. Lynyrd Skynyrd repalced Sweet on that USA tour.

[@wolfdietrichhabermann6033]

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR BRIAN FRANCIS CONNOLLY YOUR FANTASTIC MUSIC LIVES ON REST IN PEACE WITH GREATEST LOVE FROM ALL SWEET FANS WORLDWIDE WE ALL MISS YOU SO!

Thats right! Sweet were great incredible Band. 😊👍

[@jeffacourt5120]

One of my favourite bands ever.

[@MsAllimack]

You are so right! I only had limited knowledge of their music, as I was a little kid in their heyday. But thank goodness for KZbin, they are now one of my all-time favorite bands. I can hear how they did influence other bands that came along later. It’s crazy that they are not in the rock hall of fame.

The brilliance of this band still shines through. Sweet rules; always did, always will.

[@andymatthews7617]

THE BEST EVER NONE BETTER ANYWHERE ANYTIME

[@LetterNumberPeriodDashUndersco]

The "brilliance" of most Sweet songs comes largely from their chief songwriters. Nicky Chinn and (mostly) Mike Chapman wrote some of the absolute best songs of the '70s - mostly Sweet's, but also the biggest hits from Suzi Quatro and a few from Blondie; they were also responsible for Toni Basil's "Mickey," which was originally "Kitty" by the Australian band Racey.

One of my favourites of the seventies and the best glam rock band by far love all of there songs absolutely amazing sadly three of them have passed away that's the late Steve priest, mick tucker and Brian connelly and there's only one left now and that's Andy Scott 💔 ✨️📿🕯🎤🎸🥁🎵⛪️🕊🥰😍😘🤗🙌🙏love and respect Karen xxxx

[@daleharapat4984]

ThIs song Is just incredible......Rebel rousing, punkish, power, and real showmen...Sweet is the most under-rated group, maybe of all time....Almost all of their songs are great....Brian Connolly is a major talent, his heart went full board into all his songs....Connolly is better than anything out there in 2020.

[@glamgal7106]

I agree with you on all that. More so, I believe that Sweet is the most underrated band both in history and up to date. From a musician's viewpoint, I could go on about how the band members were musically talented, their songwriting abilities and what made them unique but believe me, I'd be typing about that forever LOL.

[@lottalove2449]

@@glamgal7106 I never saw any other rock band who's members can ALL sing. Did you?

[@terryjackson9395]

I love Robin Zander as one of the best rock singers ever. I now realize he started as an absolute Brian Connolly copycat. Queen copied Sweet. Motley Crue copied Sweet to the point of plagiarising hellraiser not-for-note. David Bowie copied sweet. I also personally believe Spinal Tap may have been loosely "inspired" by Sweet. Love these underrated and non-credited souls.

[@farrellvanessa]

@@terryjackson9395 Copied maybe but no one will ever hold a candle to Sweet. IMO.

[@robertroberts3703]

Glad to see you include the word "punkish" as Teenage Rampage and Ballroom Blitz are most definitely pre-punk punk. In fact, punk legends The Damned, featuring Motorhead's Lemmy on bass guitar, did a very plausible cover of Ballroom Blitz in honour of this excellent band. Respect due!
