What I’m Jamming To: June 28, 2011

The Sweet were half-bubblegum, half-glam, all awesome. Their questionable attire and silly lyrics made them easy targets but also allowed them to sell a lot of records in the UK. While “Ballroom Blitz” is undoubtedly their most well-known song by contemporary audiences, “Fox on the Run” was equally successful, reaching number 2 in the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Norway, and number 1 in Australia, Denmark, Germany, and South Africa and it powered their album Desolation Blvd. to number 25, their highest charting album, in the U.S.
If you liked this jam, you may like the following similar jams I’ve been jamming to:

“Personality Crisis” – The New York Dolls

“Metal Guru” – T. Rex

“I Don’t Wanna Go Home” –  Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes
