Seriously Mr I you must get their greatest hits- make sure you get a CD with Block Buster, Fox on the run, Teenage Rampage, Hellraiser and Ballroom Blitz on then you'll know it's a greatest hits collection....<BR/><BR/>You remember Little Willy though? Any significant reason??<BR/><BR/>Ps..I forgot to thank you for my Simon Le Bon treat - it was the shock! That song was pretty good and the video was enticely surreal.(Have I spelt that right?)<BR/><BR/>I spotted a lovely frilly shirt....Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-42064949293423953902009-02-24T05:23:00.000+00:002009-02-24T05:23:00.000+00:00I thought I commented here....

The colors compliment each other. <BR/><BR/>I don't remember these songs by Sweet but I remember Little Willy! I'm still not sure I really understand the lyrics to that song though. Thanks for the post. I kinda like the Oxygen song. It's growing on me.intrepidideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621013901216084367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-82645836143456657382009-02-24T00:08:00.000+00:002009-02-24T00:08:00.000+00:00Laura,Ah..that's the pleasure of MM!

Finding something new and tasting it!<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed writing about the Sweet -every week I think I'll quickly write a post and then end up surfing You Tube for hours! Ah...the memories!<BR/><BR/>Ane,<BR/><BR/>No, not you too who hasn't heard of the Sweet! I'm feeling older by the minute...<BR/><BR/>You are spot on - The Sweet rocked!!Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-89505856484208299022009-02-23T23:53:00.000+00:002009-02-23T23:53:00.000+00:00Speedy!I thought you'd like Sweet.

Cos I don't think you've played anything I haven't liked yet so we must have vaguely similar tastes (or maybe it's a generational thing!)<BR/><BR/>The snow is gone now Speedy - Guess we will just have to throw chicken nuggets instead!<BR/><BR/>Lynda,<BR/><BR/>Tut, tut. Were you dribbling over Donny? Outrageous!<BR/><BR/>Glad you're enjoying my blog - I get a lot of pleasure writing this gibberish but it makes me even happier to know a few folks like it too. There's plenty more left in my madcap brain, unfortunately just not enough time in the day to get it all out!

Not even Block Buster? My goodness that song is an all time glam rock classic!<BR/><BR/>Ballroom blitz probably wasn't the strongest of their big tunes but I just love that intro; sounds so much better on a decent recording too.<BR/><BR/>I'll check out that cover version!<BR/><BR/>Shemah,<BR/><BR/>You're making me feel old! Boo Hoo!<BR/>Seriously, you must check out their other stuff. They were just soo good!<BR/><BR/>Yes, it's a pity that many singers get drawn into the rock "n" roll lifestyle and then don't achieve what they should do. I guess when you have all that fame, money and glory it's easy to fall into temptation.. and no doubt there's plenty of people only to encourage them (especially with drug usage) for their own purpose.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, as you say they have a legacy and I guess I'll still be listening when I'm old and grey. (If I haven't fallen over in my glam rock platforms and killed myself before then!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for calling by!Jane Turleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01441332018679664175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-87514037210086236872009-02-23T17:51:00.000+00:002009-02-23T17:51:00.000+00:00I can't say I've heard of them, but I am definitel...I can't say I've heard of them, but I am definitely going to say they rock! :) I only wished I could've known them sooner, I liked the Sweet! :) Happy Monday! :)Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10958830515099058303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-52516652331662578312009-02-23T12:13:00.000+00:002009-02-23T12:13:00.000+00:00Oh my...

Shame I can't blast it out in the office!<BR/><BR/>I'm getting hooked on your daily reports. Really enjoyed The Floating Shopper. Always a fab read!<BR/> <BR/>See you soon.

Hope you're having a great Monday! :) T...Hey Mrs T! <BR/><BR/>Hope you're having a great Monday! :) Thanks for sharing one of your fave bands of all time. To be honest, this is the first time I've heard of them. My hubby however was crooning to their song when I played all their vids. Apparently he's a big fan as well! :) Excellent choice, he says! <BR/><BR/>Anyways, it is definitely a shame to see great talent wasted by the use of alcohol or drugs. It is the downfall that plagues people with fame and fortune.. All those from the old days, like Elvis and Johnny Cash and even stars today are struggling with the same problem. <BR/><BR/>Well, at least they left some of their legacy to be shared with us on MM! :) <BR/><BR/>Take care, Mrs T! :)Shemahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14151384611787135264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735085699153339257.post-89978687926180958992009-02-23T02:21:00.000+00:002009-02-23T02:21:00.000+00:00I like the Sweet.My first exposure to them was in ...I like the Sweet.<BR/><BR/>My first exposure to them was in the early 70's with song called "Little Willy". I didn't quite get the jist of it at such a young age, but I started gettig it when I was older.<BR/><BR/>"Ballroom Blitz" was okay, but the band Krokus did a nice cover of it.<BR/><BR/>The only song that gets played on commercial radio here is "Love is Like Oxygen".G.
