The Sweet - The Best Of The Sweet
Review by nishu sharma
The album "The Best Of The Sweet" by Sweet is a must-have for any fan of classic rock and roll. With its catchy hooks and iconic guitar riffs, this album captures the essence of the band's sound and style.
From the opening track "Ballroom Blitz" to the closing number "Fox on the Run," every song on this collection is a standout. The vocals are powerful and energetic, while the instrumentation is tight and polished.
One of the great things about this album is that it showcases the band's versatility. They can rock hard one minute and then deliver a beautiful ballad the next. Songs like "Love Is Like Oxygen" and "Little Willy" demonstrate the band's ability to write catchy and memorable tunes that stand the test of time.

About The Sweet
The nucleus of The Sweet came together in 1966, when drummer Michael Thomas Tucker (b. 17 July 1947, Harlesden, London, England) and vocalist Brian Francis Connolly (b. 5 October 1945, Hamilton, Scotland) played together in , a band whose repertoire comprised a mixture of Motown, R&B and psychedelia. The pair broke away to form Sweetshop, later shortened to just Sweet, with Steve Norman Priest (b. 23 February 1950, Hayes, Middlesex) on bass and on guitar. After releasing four unsuccessful singles on Fontana and EMI, Torpey was replaced by first , and then Mick by Andrew David Scott (b. 30 June 1949, Wrexham, Wales) and the new line-up signed to RCA. The band were introduced to the writing partnership of Chinn and Chapman, who were to provide the band with a string of hit singles.However, the band were writing their own hard-rock numbers on the b-sides of these hits. The group's determinedly effete, glam-rock image was reinforced by a succession of Top 10 hits.
The Sweet in 1974 recorded the album Sweet Fanny Adams without the assistance of Chinn and Chapman. The album charted at number 27, but disappeared again after just two weeks. As The Sweet became more of an albums band, the hit singles began to dry up. Following a move to Polydor, they cut four albums with each release making less impact than its predecessor.
Since 1982, various incarnations of the band have appeared from time to time, with up to two of the original members in any one line-up. In 1992 two versions of the band - & - began regularly touring and gigging. In 1997, Brian Connolly died in hospital from a muscular disorder. Andy Scott continues to tour with his version of The Sweet.
