The Sweet, often shortened to just Sweet, are a British glam rock band that rose to prominence in the 1970s. Originally known as The Sweetshop, the band became one of the era’s defining acts, combining catchy melodies, flamboyant style, and high-energy performances.
The most well-known line-up of The Sweet featured Brian Connolly on lead vocals, Steve Priest on bass, Andy Scott on guitar, and Mick Tucker on drums. Together, they created a distinctive sound that fused pop sensibilities with hard rock energy, making their music both radio-friendly and arena-ready.
Although the band is perhaps best remembered for their iconic hit Ballroom Blitz, their catalogue includes numerous other singles and albums that showcase their versatility and glam rock flair. Their songs are characterised by driving riffs, sing-along choruses, and theatrical performances that helped define 1970s British rock.
Funny How Sweet Co-Co Can Be (1971) – debut album establishing their early glam-pop sound
Sweet Fanny Adams (1974) – harder-edged rock with powerful hooks
Desolation Boulevard (1974) – one of their most celebrated albums, blending glam and hard rock
Give Us a Wink (1976) – polished production with catchy, anthemic tracks
Level Headed (1978) – continued experimentation with rock and glam fusion
Cut Above the Rest (1979) – later work combining melodic pop-rock with arena-ready riffs
The Sweet’s music remains a touchstone of the glam rock era, celebrated for its energy, style, and enduring appeal.
