The sweet. The eptimome of British music 1970s. Absolutely class!

[@daleharapat4984]

Only one word describes Sweet in 2020....GREAT..........Fun and better than anything now or even then. Brian Connolly was the man......best lead singer ever.

[@jamcofec]

Wasn't he incredible. No prancing about. Just great tone and voice.

My Sweet albums sit proudly on the shelf with my Slayer, Dust, Sir Lord Baltimore, etc. albums.

Im Jahr 1972 war ich erst 9 !!! Jahre. Und ich habe sie geliebt von der 1. Sekunde an. Und heute elektrisieren mich die Stimmen von Brian und Steve noch immer. Ihre Frisuren waren legendär. Wir liebten sie alle❤❤❤ RIP Brian, Steve and Mick😢😢😢

Every single guy in this band was amazing and talented. Long live Sweet. :)

I'm 60 and I swear the 70's produced the best band music ever! I didn't know that at the time of course thinking it would just keep getting better and better. I'd say around the mid-80's the "decline" was in full swing. The Sweet went from Archie type music to Glam Rock and were a fav of mine as a teen. Only 1 band member still alive - wow.

[@JoinTheProgress]

1990 and on was the decline, there've actually been videos about how measurable it was. In 1989 my friends and I were very excited about the 90's thinking it was going to be a technological miracle, with astounding production quality and sounds, coupled with sheer talents that the world could hardly imagine; instead the exact opposite happened...rap and grunge were forced through as the industry standards due to how cheap they were both to produce and how the talents weren't nearly as expensive (because they had so much less talent). Vocal skill sets, instrumental skills, compositional skills...ALL went right down the toilet for cheaper-everything. They sold it to the kids, the kids bought it, and music history was permanently altered. There have been *some* hints of change more recently, but they're still not "the standard" that there once was in the commercial arena. They're still all on the side while commercial music is all computer generated and computer honed (such as for vocals, no one even needs to really be able to sing any more, with very few exceptions). And lyrics are all garbage now compared to the poetry of our time. Polyphia is an exception to the return of the skill sets. And very little positive, upbeat and fun stuff like Sweet (who are also all talented musicians) exists any longer. To end on a positive, kids ARE discovering the old music. I know a 19 year old who listens to a lot of 60's and 70's music. He was also home-schooled which I find interesting.

[@projectevo1]

This is the song that had my first lasting impression on music. I have total recall of being 4 years old and rocking out in my flared jeans, massive curly hair on our kitchen table. It was the drums.

[@darrenwoods9990]

man these guys and all the other bands like them were just all about the fun of music, the way it helps with loss, grief, makes you happy etc very few bands like that nowdays unfortunately.

[@beverleyr2625]

I absolutely loved these guys back in the 70's. I wanted my hair cut into the same style as Brian - I'm 58 now and I've finally achieved it! Don't know why the hairdresser couldn't do it back then but hey, better late than never. RIP Steve Priest - you, Brian, Andy and Mick brought some sunshine into the dreary days of the 70's when we had power cuts and our parents were working a 3 day week!

[@lottalove2449]

You have their haircut, now, in 2020??

[@beverleyr2625]

@@lottalove2449 Like Brian's yes - with the fringe and the angled feathering down the sides to the front. There are a lot of women who have had that cut for a few years now - it was kickstarted again by Jennifer Aniston from Friends!

[@ZeusKingOfOlympus007]

I 100% agree, I'm the same age and I also feel that I was born in the wrong generation. 1970s music is the best, at least you can dance to it. Music these days disgust me greatly.

I have to thank my parents for playing this group while I was growing up in the 70s. Made sure this appeared on my daughters playlist in the 00s. It's up to us folks, we have to keep this band alive!

[@backpages9885]

Sweet! one of the most underrated bands of all time! As someone who's loved them for years and years I feel like I can preach how underrated they were all day, but all you can do is just dive into their discography. They were versatile!

[@stephlawson9658]

I love sweet but know nobody knows them now😒 my favorite song is ballroom blits

[@JamesDeanBrown]

Here we go again: the commercially most successful Bristish Glam Rock band of the 70es who gave the world a whole series of Rock anthems is "underrated"? By whom?

[@vic.smittie.5668]

Surely not underrated! 😳
