Sweet - Ballroom Blitz
When ya'all hear this song, don't ya' just wanna get up and dance? It's got to be one of the catchiest tunes I've heard. If you haven't heard the song, go download it - it fuckin rocks!

2. Great fuckin' record!
Sweet rocked like hell when they weren't busy making bullshit bubblegum records like "Wig Wam Bam" and "Little Willy."

5. I've got the album.
I've had it since that song was originally a hit. That sure betrays my age.

7. Wasn't that on Give Us a Wink?
Edited on Sun Apr-25-04 10:02 PM by davsand
I had that album--loved it because it had an inner liner with an eye on it that as you lifted it in and out of the cover it "winked" at you...

NAH, I am NOT old! ;)


Laura

On edit: Woops! I should have noticed the album cover in the orginal post--Desolation Boulevard!!!

8. Yeah, that's a fun song.
I also really liked their song "Love Is Like Oxygen." There might be another one I liked, but I can't think of it right now. (No, it wasn't "Little Willy.") "Fox on the Run" -- was that Sweet? If so, that's the song I was thinking of.

11. Desolation Boulevard is their best album.
Sweet had a strange music career. They started as a bubble gum rock band....Then they started writing their own songs...That's when they made great albums like 'Desolation Boulevard', 'Give Us a Wink', and 'Off the Record'. When disco hit in the late 70's Sweet tried to cash in on the craze...hence 'Level Headed'. IMO they should have stayed with their 'Desolation Boulevard' sound.
