Who likes this 70s glam rock/pop/rock band?

I do! Even my brother, a staunch metalhead loves them

Here's one of their best known songs:

Classic song from car trips during childhood. Those little shorts the bass player's wearing are a concern though.

Didn't they do 'Ballroom Blitz'? (if you've seen the Life on Mars [UK Version], it's the theme song, I think)
I had that album in my yute...

Yes they did. I used to have a copy until my laptop crashed. Only have the Wayne's World version.

I'm not a big glam rock fan, but I absolutely love The Sweet. Fox on the Run is one of my favs.

It's the 70s

And yes, one of the Sweet's songs did appear on the Life on Mars soundtrack- it was Blockbuster on the OST, not Ballroom Blitz, though it did play in one of the episodes
