Before we get into our list of the Top 10 Sweet Songs, allow us to place them in the proper context in rock history. Say the words "glam rock" to some and they think of Poison or Motley Crue. They would be wrong! The hairspray brigade of the '80s was another creature entirely...
According to Sweet bassist Steve Priest, singer Brian Connolly had to quit the legendary glam band because of his serious smoking habit. Priest claims that his nicotine habit caused serious damage to that golden voice. “A lot of the songs were really up there – and he smoked like a chimney. So he used to lose his voice a lot."
Andy Scott, guitarist for the Sweet, got more than he bargained for when he tried to sue an E-Bay customer for selling a used CD from his band, and now faces a whopping $78,000 legal bill.
Original Sweet guitarist Andy Scott has a new record ready to roll out, featuring interesting takes on songs by originally recorded by other artists, and furthermore, each mixed with elements of classic Sweet songs.
