Just turned 50 today and I am so fortunate to have grown up during a time when music exploded upon us and gave us such classics as this :) No offense, but very few of todays artists capture this same magic :(
!979 16 years old coming home after a looooonnng night slipped in the ole 8 track put on the big headphones with the long curly cord kicked back on the bed and just wind down.
Middle school days, damn they were too fucking "sweet". Kick ass middle section and you can't help but play your damn air instruments. These guys were all time in my mind!
Pure high school nostalgia for me...good times...when I was young and still pretty...and didn't know it...innocense is priceless and fleeting. Cherish it.
I gotta admit that that when I first heard this song back in 1978, I honestly could've sworn that it was ELO. Not until 2003 did I learn(thru Music Choice) that it was Sweet.
As a guy born in 1960, I can attest to the fact that the 70's music was simply awesome! I wouldn't trade growing up then for all the tea in China. Thanks for posting.
@akretowicz I also am glad I was born in 1960, everything was on vinyl, and we didn't only have crappy overproduced music. We actually had "artists" who could write and play their own music.
@sevenlemon I was also born in 1960. There was music in the 1970s that some considered overproduced. However if it was, it was usually to add more layers of texture to the song. More complexity if you will. Today they have to overproduce just to get the singer to be on key.
if AND***D Market offered THIS version of the song I woulda bought it by now...maybe linux164 can make it available on my mobile device (on youTube) Just askin'...
I was fortunate enough to be 18 in 1974, and enjoy all the great music that the 70s had to offer. Looking at society and attitudes nowadays, I know I have lived through the best times. Thanks for posting this..
I'm 52,and this was some of the best music I ever heard...the rest of the 70s sucked,but the music didn't. I remember smoking a bowl or two to this one,and a few other Sweet songs back then,they were the kings of glam rock to us,and I sure miss those days.
This is a song of 70's my friends. Released at the end of 1977 or beginning of 1978 if i remember well. The important thing, and i agree with all of you, is that this song remains fresh and seems to be a song of today. Greetings from Nafplio !!!
I'm 49 and this song never gets old. Just sitting here the other day wondering if I was the only person stuck in the 80's. Guess not and I thank you for that. Happy Holidays.
Hmm. Love. Depends on which band you listen to. The J.Giels Band says that love stinks, Nazareth says that love hurts, and Rod Stewart says that love is a bitch. Who ya gonna believe?
yea being a 90s baby and growing up on the 50s 60s 70s and 80s because showed me how most of todays music is all garbage especially since most don't have originality and are all made on the computer.
I remember buying that record for my 78th birthday the year it came out. If any of you young pricks have a single fucken comment about my possible age, I'll fucken hack your computers, find you out and go rip your fucken jugular veins out..., mother fuckers!!!
@Jai666666666 So you are a 111 year-old who is going to hack my computer and rip out my jugular. Right. You were middle-aged during the Great Depression and we're supposed to believe that you are Bill-Rambo Gates? So what's my IP address, Conan the Incontinent?
i remember this song hanging out in HS in Queens NY in 1979. Back in a time when a new album was release every other week from a major band. Where is music today justin beiber
I'm17 years old & i personally believe living from 1920-1980 in adolescent all through those years would probably be the greatest thing in the world, all those time periods are personally my favorite through out history. I hate society & what it's come to be now a days. I wish i could have experienced the 70's & such other years.
@HardstyIeLife SO BASICALLY YOUR SAYING 'hi im 17 and im going to bullshit you all and feed you crap about how young i am and how i like old music and have such great taste so please like this comment cause thats all i have to live for"
@HardstyIeLife The 1970's was a great decade to grow up from a 6 year old kindergarten kid in 1970 to a 16 year old high school sophomore in 1979. I've always told people who never lived it that it was a decade of bad TV, bad hair, bad clothes, but the most incredible music ever. Being 17 now, you'll never know how great it was to buy a new vinyl record album, peel off the cellophane wrapper, put it on the stereo turntable, put the needle on it then sit back, listen and study the album cover art
@CORVETTE1982 Yeah; I pretty much missed a lot of that. I was born in 1971. I came to things way too late. I would've loved to have been born 20 to 30 years before. It's a helluva lot better than what we have now! (or last 20-25 years!)
@71JUSTINCASE I guess it's how you look at it..I was Also born in '71 and I feel some of the Best music ever, Was in the 70's and 80's...I used to wish I could've lived through the 60's because that also seems to have been a golden year for music, But it is what it is...Thank God for Youtube.
@CORVETTE1982 ...except i do. i pull the wrapper off my new cd, put it in my laptop, start up iTunes then sit back, listen, and study the cd fold-in. I'm one of the only 19-year-olds left that actually collects cd's and buys music.
@CORVETTE1982 compared to now the 60's and 70's were the greatest. Now we have crystal meth, Justin Beiber and a zombie society. I know where I'd rather be and it ain't here.
@CORVETTE1982 bad TV com'n. There was great TV back then, sitcoms, gameshows(Remember The Gong Show). Movies? 1000s. Documentaries 100s. And bad hair? Man, most adult males are bald by 30 these days.
@CORVETTE1982 Dont forget the static on the record.and reading the liner notes.And carefully trying to put the sleeve back on the record and putting it in the Album cover so it wouldnt roll out and God forbid get scratched.OHH and streathing your thumb and fingers so not to touch it.LOL,and then Mom and Dad yelling to "turn it down"!
@HardstyIeLife WoW! You took the words right out of my mouth! I also feel as You do. Although I was born in 1971. I was born way.... way, too late! As You stated... I'd have loved to live 1920-1980. Thank You :-)>
@HardstyIeLife Hey Man, I here what you're saying, but this is your time now. Don't look into the past and mourn for today's culture, but make today interesting for yourself and your peers. You know that there's more to be had, so now go make it happen!!!
@HardstyIeLife It WAS fun, but life goes on, things do get better, and these times will be looked upon fondly as time goes by, and remember you can still affect things on a personal level. Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays.
@HardstyIeLife You have the music my friend. You don't have the memories of the times. Ask your dad, uncle or whoever to give you thier stories of the time. I love the Big Band era and love the tales told to me by my aunt Billie (long gone now) of how she and her sister dressed as men during WWII just to see if boys would dance with them at the dance hall. These were very dignified ladies, but I loved the stories.
@HardstyIeLife yeah things have turned into shit, no doubt. Its downhill since 1990....1980 really, I call the 80's the decade of serious transition. Things were cool till '80...then the whores in government really started fucking up everything.
@HardstyIeLife I am 50 years old and back in the 70's we skate boarded and rode moto X. We didn't have any electronics, other than a transistor radio which we took to the beach or park. We listened to KISS, Lynard Skynard, ELO, Queen and of course Sweet. You can still enjoy those things today in your own way!
@RazorX860 I LOVE all those bands, & I skateboard on a constant basis, but I mostly make music; old sounding music. I'm not the biggest fan of technology actually. I hate touch objects, voice command, or High tech computers. I just make music, & have a blast before adolescence is no more. However... your never to old to be a child at some point once more. So growing up is all that bad hahaha!
@HardstyIeLife I do not know your nationality; I'm Greek, 42 years old and I have the same sense exactly. I have wandered around the memories of my child and teen age several times and afterwards as another Froyd analyzing my feelings I believed it was that just because of my living those days. But you tell me now it isn't so. They really were much more nicer days and the most possible it was because we ..... worked, fighted a little for that magic.
@HardstyIeLife Now all (reference to material goods) are given without attempt and in the same time we fear that we are to loose everything (world economic crisis). Maybe when our fear comes true, the 17 years old young friend will start living like 70's. As per the older ones, I cannot fancy about.... Have a nice 2012!
@HardstyIeLife Well, you'll want to skip the depression, and WW2, so that leaves the 50s, 60s, & 70s. I grew up in the 70s, and I thought it would have been better to grow up in the innocence of either the 60s or the 50s, but looking back I think the 70s was the last and best of it.
@HardstyIeLife The 70s had the best music sure, but more important we still had integrity and a respect for others that was taught by our parents, you just don't see that any more. It was also the beginning of the electronic age, when computers were still fascinating, before they overwhelmed our lives. I think the two are connected, kids these days are taught morality by social media, instead of their family. It's sad, and perhaps the downfall of our society.
The "family" are a bunch of defunct individuals themselves. I agree, but, for the most part, they can't take care of themselves! It's tragic and unfortunate!!!
TOns of people mistaked Sweet for E.L.O this song is very similar to thier style I can agree it could be hard to tell especially if you aren't completely familiar witht he artists.
@DarkForceB The guy who co-engineered this track was a veteran ELO studio guy. I was a HUGE ELO fan as a kid, and also loved this song when it came out. Last years I was listening to this song, and after all these years, it too dawned on me that the production was very ELO-ish. I looked up the details and that's when I found out why.
@sonicfrogdotnet I had never really thought about it, but it does sound a lot like ELO. A song over 30 years old and still sounds better than much of the stuff today.
actually from 3:20 to 5:10 its almost note for note mike oldfield. forgive me, but, the exact reference is no so exact, either tubular bells or leaning more towards ommadawn
@heredavehere -- I was lol until I took another listen... sounds just like "popsicle" with an accent. One up for your aunt!
I am 42 now, and I remember changing into my gi (karate uniform) in the back of the car on the way to karate lessons at the Santa Ana dojo from San Juan Capistrano three times a week. This song was always on the radio. I'm pretty sure it was a shorter version, though.
51 people are too high...but I understand their right...because a rock star can critique their peers. Sweet kicked much ass on Desperation Boulevard and spent a lot of time on the rocks after....to find them back to write music was delight to us fans...piss of wankers that don't appreciate this effort.
This song besides being a SUPER feel good tune 4-all us 70's fanz. also in the long version tells quite a story. you just have to pay close attention 2 the slow partz.
@mystras100 ...agreed and indeed cookie cutter generic bullshit pop music needs to be rethought and revamped..even the singer songwriters mof this generation are sub par...but these kids today and even some younger adults are lost when it comes to the good stuff m 33 and i caught enough of the late 70s and all of the 80s to have some insight to this...still wish i was a lil older when these songs came out i would have enjoyed it more ...in the late 80s i went thrash metal and never looked back
@diabllova Don't give up hope. There are some really talented musicians. I live in Austin, Texas. We have several young bands who absolutely adore 70s music, and are very talented. Unfortunately, the industry has become too influenced by a media that only embraces American Idol and image. Not the actual sound. I agree that it is a shame. I'm a 70s guy born in 61, and agree with you completely.
I can clearly remember zipping around in my '68 camaro while this song blasted from my speakers. Great memories...

TOns of people mistaked Sweet for E.L.O this song is very similar to thier style I can agree it could be hard to tell especially if you aren't completely familiar witht he artists.

@DarkForceB The guy who co-engineered this track was a veteran ELO studio guy. I was a HUGE ELO fan as a kid, and also loved this song when it came out. Last years I was listening to this song, and after all these years, it too dawned on me that the production was very ELO-ish. I looked up the details and that's when I found out why.
sonicfrogdotnet 2 months ago
@sonicfrogdotnet I had never really thought about it, but it does sound a lot like ELO. A song over 30 years old and still sounds better than much of the stuff today.

Sweet took Little Willy to a Ballroom Blitz where he met a Fox On The Run. Must say that pop rock never sounded better.

I am 42 now, and I remember changing into my gi (karate uniform) in the back of the car on the way to karate lessons at the Santa Ana dojo from San Juan Capistrano three times a week. This song was always on the radio. I'm pretty sure it was a shorter version, though.

51 people are too high...but I understand their right...because a rock star can critique their peers. Sweet kicked much ass on Desperation Boulevard and spent a lot of time on the rocks after....to find them back to write music was delight to us fans...piss of wankers that don't appreciate this effort.

@mystras100 ...agreed and indeed cookie cutter generic bullshit pop music needs to be rethought and revamped..even the singer songwriters mof this generation are sub par...but these kids today and even some younger adults are lost when it comes to the good stuff m 33 and i caught enough of the late 70s and all of the 80s to have some insight to this...still wish i was a lil older when these songs came out i would have enjoyed it more ...in the late 80s i went thrash metal and never looked back

@diabllova Don't give up hope. There are some really talented musicians. I live in Austin, Texas. We have several young bands who absolutely adore 70s music, and are very talented. Unfortunately, the industry has become too influenced by a media that only embraces American Idol and image. Not the actual sound. I agree that it is a shame. I'm a 70s guy born in 61, and agree with you completely.
