My first impression of Manfred Mann's version was Paperback Writer, so...

This is the first place I’ve ever heard this song or this band and I actually love it. I have downloaded it and already listened to it at least 30 times In the last week. 😊🙏

One of my favourite albums. But I do prefer the album version of Fox on the run. I did see them live in Australia in 1976 Mick Tucker Did a drum duel with himself, him live and himself on a big video screen

“Love is like oxygen” when I was a kid I thought was ELO. Still one of my favorites. My older sister had the 45 rpm of Fox on the Run and played it day and night when new. Didn’t realize until a teenager what this song was about. 😮

When I became aware of music and music videos Sweet were a huge part of the music landscape with Ballroom Blitz. Which featured on any music show or “marathon” we had in those days. They ended up being hugely popular in Australia, and I saw the Andy version of the band live in a 1000 standing room venue in my local town in the late 80’s. They were still great.

The 3 Guardian movies, brought a lot of 70's music, to the ears of a MUCH younger generation.....

I enjoy your channel but this is my favorite. Thank you.

It was a big hit in the rollerskating rinks in the late 70's and 80's. When that song came on everybody went to the floor to speed shuffle.

Fantastic song and group.

GREATEST VOICE OF ANY GENRE IN HISTORY!

Sweet,........ Enough said. Fox on the run, Ballroom blitz, Little Willy, Love is like oxygen, Action and numerous other notables. They never got the recognition they deserved. Brian Connoly was a phenomenal vocalist, Steve Priest on Bass, Mick Tucker on drums, and Andy Scott with the power Lead guitar, they were a force to be dealt with. I have tons of memories woven into the tapestry of my brightly colored youth with Sweet tunes interwoven with those memories. To put it simply,........... Sweet! I'll never forget them or the music. Brian, Steve, Mick are all gone now, but they'll always be remembered. Rest in peace guys, YOU ROCKED OUR GENERATION.

One of my favorite bands.

Those look perfect to me! Definitely will try! Nice work! Love your channel, man!

Wow just now 1 million? Congrats, you really deserve it!

These guys were great! I have a playlist I made on my subscription platform of them, and I listen to it frequently. Some songs truly kick ass and the rest are pretty damn great too!

He gets to the point at 2:33

My husband and daughter danced to My Girl at her wedding. Greatest song, greatest era for music ever

dont forget the rock hall thrives on controversy , its lots of free publicity, its on purpose, dont fall for it

Great song while not a fan of the acoustic sound of singing in the john . .

I listened to the Final Cut twice. Once to see if it was worth listening to, and again to see if it really was as bad as I thought was. Roger Waters has gone down hill musically. He is a waste of time.

Proffer, you could have told us why the early Sweet albums aren't available to stream. I thought GIVE US A WINK was a good album. I've never seen it available to stream.

I've loved Sweet from a kid and even now. Action is a favorite. & Ballroom of course.

The FIRST album I ever bought was Desolation Boulevard (Australian RCA version), 100% only to get 'Fox On The Run'. So you can imagine the disappointment when this 10 year old kid discovers it's not the "right" version. Not the greatest start, I ended up loving the record and that original version as well.

I wonder why Tommy Tutone never released the song Teen Angel Eyes as a single. It is not even in any of their 80's albums. Only at the end of the movie The Last American Virgin. Great song and awesome movie.

I've always tried to imagine how his girlfriend must have felt when he told her "You're built like a car." What a great line! When you said they were afraid of being confused with another song titled Get it on, I was thinking of a completely different song than the one you played a clip from. Plenty of songs have the same title as others. Hmm, that might make an interesting theme for a UA-cam playlist.

This made my day

I was 14 in 1976 and Skynrd was my favorite band of all. i bought every one of their records and would listen to them for hours on an old console stereo cranked as loud as it would go.

Love Is Like Oxygen is a great song,especially the long version.

Mick Tucker- greatest drummer Steve Preist- awesome bassist Andy Scott- innovative guitarist Brian Connelly- true rock voice

Sorry folks... I never really liked anything by the Chili Peppers

Sweet had a bunch of hits. Seems like a different band from Bubble Gum Little Willy to Love is Like Oxygen. Fox is original unto itself. Thanks Adam!

That was so cool how the Professor and Norman met up. I would be interested in seeing the schematic for Norman's fuzz to see what parts are no longer available. There are some places on the net where vintage parts can be obtained. It would be an interesting project to bring the fuzz box back to life.

I had Desolation Boulvevard on 8-track. I liked most of the songs on it a great deal. The album title is in the lyrics of "The Six Teens." I don't think any other album covered so much about certain subjects, Sweet F.A., ACDC, No You Don't, Solid Gold Brass, songs that would like not appear on the radio in the mid 70s. But they were broadcast on the 6x9s in my 1968 Satellite.😉

I have this on a 45 when I’m feeling down or need something to pick me up I crank it up!!!!! I love the small town of Petaluma

I was enthralled with Dancing Queen as a young child, around 5 years old. I made my dad play it over and over on his giant console stereo. What a piece of furniture that was!

Brilliant!

LOVE SWEET, CANT BELIEVE MORE OF THEIR SONGS LIKE LOVE IS LIKE OXYGEN DIDN'T DO BETTER.

One of my favorite great songs to jam to

John Lennon said it was his favourite song ever

Absolute best driving song ever, to this day pop this song on the radio and even the emo teenager in the back sings along, thank you for bringing back the music🙂🙂

Timeless song!!! As relevant today as the day it first hit the airwaves!

What a amazing event! Ann and Nancy nailed it! Best cover of SWTH ever, I agree!❤❤❤🤘

I’d forgotten this song. We used to play it back in High School in our rock trio. 🎸🎶

I really enjoyed this episode Adam! I’ve rediscovered Sweet a few months back and also found your other Sweet episode very informative. They really are quite underrated! Thanks for helping bring their music back into the forefront!

The Sweet are one of my guilty pleasures. Thanks, Adam!

I have never quite understood why Sweet never got the credit they deserved. Here are my best guesses: I suspect some of their early confections (pun intended) were off-putting to people who wanted to think of Sweet as a rock band. "Little Willy", "Wig Wam Bam" to name two. Regardless, I happen to like those songs. Even the big radio hits, "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox on the Run" are the types of songs that so many people enjoy but are embarrassed to admit. If you were blasting either of them in your car with the windows down and someone rolled up beside you, you'd probably turn it down or roll up the windows. I get it. But, "Give a Wink" put that all to rest. At least I thought it did. Until I discovered almost no one has ever heard it. People know "Action" but, apparently never sought out the album, which is just killer. I could write for a long time about Sweet and I may write more comments later. For now, two things I can't go without mentioning. 1) Mick Tucker is truly one of the most underrated rock drummers. 2) If you are a fan of Sweet, type the following into a UA-cam search "Sweet Musikladen 1974. Watch all the videos and you can thank me later. And, one more nod to Mick, if you watch the "Sweet Musikladen 1974" videos, take some time to watch Mick, especially on "The Man With The Golden Arm." He is fun to watch and you can see the joy he has performing. From a long time big fan of Sweet, who rarely hears them mentioned or discussed, thanks for this one, Professor.

Shouldn't be allowed to fade into history. Grew up listening to my parents blasting out Sweet on many Sunday afternoon BBQs. Great memories.

Well, I just learned something today. I had no idea that Fox on the Run by The Country Gentlemen was a cover of a Manfred Mann song. I do love my rock n' roll but the bluegrass version is far and away the better of the two.

Your knowledge of these artists history is impressive to no end.

Based on my studies of the Scriptures, I don't agree with the lyrics, but I've always loved that riff. So I found an instrumental version and saved it to my playlist.
