And yeah, they even contributed a couple of songs that are… questionably disco-ish. They were glam, to be sure, and their career did take them well into the disco era. Perhaps because they had a streak of bubbleglam about them, or perhaps because, like Foghat, they somehow became a part of the mid to late 70s disco fiasco, Sweet seem to be easily dismissed as a 70s teenage pop band. One name that may or may not, but usually does not get mentioned is Sweet. Pat Travers Band, Blackfoot and Molly Hatchet, Foghat, Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac-why, there is a list as long as the… list of bands that released hard rock albums in the early to mid 70s, I guess. There are also a few that rarely get mentioned, but deserve mentioning. Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Jethro Tull, MC5, Rush, Alice Cooper… you know the names. In discussing the interchange between hard rock and heavy metal, there are a ton of bands that get mentioned. Sorry, I can’t look at pictures of Sweet without thinking of Spinal Tap.
Nobody knows who Sweet were or what they were doing.
