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 Wainwright's Gentlemen, a small-time club circuit band whose repertoire comprised a mixture of Motown, R&B and psychedelia.

The music of today owes you for blazing a path for them and most don't even know it. Ballroom Blitz Speeding up | Reviewer: Linus ------ About the song Ballroom Blitz performed by The Sweet Well i have only a few things to say and that is that BallroomBlitz is a song with speed and a catchy name. Many covers have been done but still the original always will be the best.

The vocals are perfect. If you listen to any of the post-Connolly efforts, ("Cut Above The Rest", "Water's Edge" (or Sweet VI), and "Identity Crisis", you'd notice (as Led Zeppelin said) the song remains the same. Just because Brian isn't There, doesn't mean it's trash!

If you like this song then you'll want to take a listen to their other stuff cause these guys were really phenomenal! They were so far ahead of their time and now everyone (like Def Leppard, and Krokus) are covering their songs! :) Long live The Sweet! Ahead of it's time | Reviewer: Christopher Darque ------ About the song Lost Angels performed by The Sweet This song has always had a special meaning for me because it was the name of my last Band. But beyond that you cannot miss how far ahead of it's time it really is. Try playing this song for someone without identifiying it and ask them how old they thing it is. I have done that many times and the answers usually start at 10 years or so. It is of course much older than that. It has a power that comes out in the tempo changes, it just drives you along in a very special way.
