vibes gave it first

I loved them. They had at least 10 fantastic singles and they also showed a different, heavier side on their albums.

They were one of my favourite bands of the 70s and what a contrast between Blockbuster / Love is like Oxygen and this:

This (The Sixteens) wan't one of their biggest hits but this and Teenage Rampage, were probably my favourites

I've always loved this one.
Incidentally, Blockbuster had a very similar riff to Bowie's Jean Jeanie.
I rememeber Sweet singing Blockbuster on the Golden Shot. I was watching with my grandparents and I thought it was fantastic but they were disgusted and complained how they shouldn't be allowed on TV

Teenage Rampage should be played outside Parliment by the students, thanks guys, I`ve enjoyed listening to `Sweet` again.

I saw The Sweet in the 70s up the Cali and they were good. One of my favourites was a B-Side called Need A Lot OF Lovin'.
