they're called The Sweet for a reason their music was sugary pop rock at its finest. I find it truly addicting and when i want some musical dessert i often indulge in both versions of Destination Boulevard :) |

The drummer, I think, was the driving force of the band. Love Desolation Blvd (only had the American version) and Give Us a Wink. -------------
