Summary: cool classics!
Comment: If you are into the "love is like oxygen" song with its awesome unique sounding guitar and beat, then there is nothing like having the original by sweet. In addition, this cd has "ballroom blitz", which I love by Krokus...I had no idea it was an original from Sweet, so when I heard it on this cd I really liked it, and the price....sweeeeter! LOL
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nearly perfect
Comment: This is probably the best single-disc overview of The Sweet's career. My only complaint is the one glaring ommission, and that is "Hellraiser". I would have swapped the cliche-ridden "The Lies In Your Eyes" for the genuine stormer that is "Hellraiser", which often opened their concerts back in the glory days of the '70s. Of the later material, "Lost Angels" is the lost hit by the band; it should have been released in the USA, but instead we got "Funk It Up", a rather lame disco-tinged number, which actually charted but is thankfully missing from this collection.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice overview
Comment: To anyone wanting a simple overview of Sweet, this is for you. Their best songs are all here
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sweet sounds on this CD
Comment: Sweet's Best Of (with the pink cover, they seem to have several "best of" albums/CDs) is a good compliation from this unusual and highly-influential band. They kind of remind me of Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie meets The Supremes mixed with guitar-driven rock like early Kiss. Listening to The Best of Sweet it's clear why bands like Def Leppard and Motley Crue are fans. With songs that range in style from a teeny booper Beach Boys sound to full 70s arena rock, this CD also provides an interesting perspective on the band's lengthy career. If you like bands like Queen, The Darkness, or are into 60s OR 70s classic rock, or like any of the bands that cite Sweet as an influence, this CD is worth listening to for sure. I'll always like Tia Carrere singing Ballroom Blitz better though! Standout tracks: Little Willy, Wig Wham Bam, Ballroom Blitz, The Six Teens, Fox On The Run, Love is Like Oxygen.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Yes, *the* Ballroom Blitz
Comment: There are a lot of versions of this song, but this is the one you are looking for. DRM Free at 256K (Thank you Amazon!!) it's the song featured in the Kung Fu Hussle trailer and imitated many a time but never quite successfully. Including many remixes and re-releases from Sweet.
As to the rest of the album, sorry - I was just here for that song. And what a tune it is.

Editorial Reviews:

They were glam, they were hams, and they made great singles. From "Little Willy" on, they forged a pop sound, always with a sly wink at the audience, never taking themselves too seriously. But when you had songs like "Ballroom Blitz," "Blockbuster," and "Fox on the Run," who really cared if you wore more makeup than a phalanx of runway models? For several years, Sweet could do absolutely no wrong. The remarkable thing is that, some quarter of a century on, the great stuff still sounds as fresh and as fun as it did when everyone wore feather cuts. --Chris Nickson
