Sweet Very Best of Sweet [Sony / BMG]

2005 compilation features three bonus tracks, 'Restless', 'Set Me Free', & 'Burn on the Flame'.Sweet was one of the most successful UK bands of the 1970s. They started out with Funny Funny in 1971, a sing-along vocal pop hit and that same year they had another huge success with the clever pop song Coco, a song about a monkey, with sweet hooks and gorgeous harmonies. As the 1970s progressed, their sound evolved into a type of bubblegum metal, power pop or glam-rock, as on the brilliant Blockbuster, Hell Raiser and Ballroom Blitz. The very best tracks are the aforementioned, plus the amazing Fox on the Run. The album includes some of their best album tracks like Restless, Set Me Free and Burn on the Flame, that display Sweet's more serious hard rock side. Overall a very enjoyable mix of vocal and hard edged pop plus some serious glam rock excursions. BMG. 20 tracks.
