    -Hot child in the city Leo sayer
    -Fantasy-Aldo nova.
    -several tunes by the cars.

But once I turned 16 someone built a more modern rink. I finally had a job and my friends and I skated every weekend looking for romance at the rink.

    Wooohhhhooooooo - thank you so much. My all time favourite song. FYI the original Desolation Boulevard was a UK/Australia release and had a much grittier version of FOTR as it was originally an album track - not a single. The original DB had Man With The Golden Arm - the later USA release was more a compilation album to be more commercial. You have only just scratched the surface with Sweet.

    There are two different versions of Fox on The Run. The version that you reacted to had more keyboards in the mix and was a hit in the states while the more guitar-oriented version was popular in the UK. Also, there were two different versions of the Desolation Boulevard album. The U.S. version was compiled from two Sweet albums in the UK--Fanny Adams and Desolation Boulevard (which had the guitar heavy version of Fox On The Run).
    As for Ballroom Blitz, it was also a hit for the band in the states. But before Ballroom Blitz and Fox On The Run were hits in the USA Sweet hit the top 40 with another track, Little Willy. You do need to check it out too. And I also recommend the track, Action, which was the single from the followup album to Desolation Boulevard. That album was called Give Us A Wink.

    Desolation Boulevard is the third studio album by the British glam rock band Sweet, originally released in the United Kingdom in November 1974. Two noticeably different versions of the album were released: one by RCA Records in Europe, and another by Capitol Records in the United States, Canada and Japan.
    The RCA version contains the single "Turn It Down" and the original recording of "Fox on the Run." The Capitol version, released in the United States in July 1975, includes the band's 1973 hit single "The Ballroom Blitz" and the single version of "Fox on the Run." In the U.S., the album peaked at #25 on 25 October 1975.

    ‘Desolation Boulevard’ is my entire high school existence summed up in one album. I worshipped that disc.
    And Lex is not wrong in describing it as ‘punk-y’. This album was a departure from their earlier more ‘bubblegum’ sound (a music critic term, not theirs).
    There are several tracks that are more fast and furious like “Sweet F. A,” and “Set Me Free”. Do “Ballroom Blitz” next, but you really should get to every single track. There isn’t a single dud on the whole album.

    I would have liked to see you use one of the videos for this as you can see them perform and they're usually singing along to the studio version anyway. Also, I would be surprised if this was their most popular, as I think Ballroom Blitz was more widely played, at least back in the 1970s. Also Blockbuster, Action, No You Dont are really good. Sweet were a glam rock band and some metal bands were inspired by them.

    The verse and progression is somewhat similar to the Yardbirds’ “Shapes Of Things”. Not necessarily the chorus, but you can see simular traits amongst these two songs.
