      Bubblegum pop, 70s answer to Stock Aitken and Waterman stuff. Smokie, Mud, Suzi Quatro, Sweet, all had the same song writers. I must admit I liked Blockbuster because when it was played at a match the crowd would sing along to the last bit, only you change the words buster, buster blockbuster to bas,,,,, bas,,,,, black ba*****d, it was aimed at the ref. I still sing it now when it comes on the radio.

    I was in high school in the '70's and I loved the sweet. The reaction from our elders was epic . Lol Steve's gay nazi was over the top in context of the time and many bands from Queen to David Bowie nicked their ideas . Glam rock was something else.

    The Sweet would be nothing without Nikki Chinn and Mike Chapman who wrote all those great glam songs. They did manage to write 3 hits themselves but was never the same. Should have just kept their gobs shut and played the hits, but egos get in the way and never for the good of the band. Still 'Ballroom Blitz' remains a classic so thank you NC & MC.
