The Sweet - The Ballroom Blitz

Afternoon,

I feel as if I'm blogging loads at the moment, but with chilling in the house more and revising it's probably a good way of doing something to stop my mind numbing too much, without getting so distracted I feel it's good to watch trashy daytime TV.
I feel like I haven't posted actual music in ages and seen as this was intended to be a music blog, and really just a way of throwing all my opinions on music just randomly onto a page, I seem to have been talking an awful lots about serious things lately. So let's change that ey and go back to tradition ;).

I've also been told I need to paragraph more in my posts (well, not so much told, but being shouted "How am I meant to read this? It's too wordy" from my Mum and you know what she's so right). Sorry about that, I'm the sort of edgy-boundary pushing teen who writes blogs on her phone (edgy meaning stupid in this case as it is a bit silly writing blog posts on your phone as you can't lay it out effectively), so I'll do my best to change this.

Today's post is about one of the best glam-rock bands (well, in my opinion anyway) there is and that's The Sweet. If you don't know much about the band they're a British glam-rock band that rose to fame in the seventies, originally under the name "Sweetshop". The band consists of Brian Connolly as vocalist, Steve Priest as bass player, Andy Scott as guitarist and Mick Tucker on drums.

Forming in London in 1968, their first hit was "Funny Funny" in 1971 and after that they rose to worldwide fame after producing thirteen top 20 hits in the UK in 1970 alone. Probably their most famous song "Blockbuster" topped the chart in 1973, whilst many songs produced consecutively reached number two. One of these is "The Ballroom Blitz", a song that's mental and cool and crafted all at the same time, so here it is:







Have a lovely day,
Thanks for reading,
