For me, there are three frontmam. On top of my list 1. Brian Connolly is my all-time favourite. 2. Robin Zander from Cheap Trick, the man with a thousand voices. 3. Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Polits All three great voices and great frontmam. Brian, by far, best voice. Great video.
Yep they’re better than he’s describing. Waters Edge is way better than a 4 or 5 in my opinion. Identify Crisis is my favourite of the 4. It’s Sweet getting heavy again
@@JCStorm76I love Waters Edge and Identity Crisis. I know lots of people give them flak for what they did after Brian left, but they did some really good songs on these 2 albums.
Good review mate, you hit the nail on the head with brian. He had a voice that could be as smooth as silk but also as raspy as any hard rocker. Dont know if you have heard of their version of mr business man in their younger days were brians voice goes from pop to power in the same verse, even way back then.
The RCA releases were on the capital label too in north america. The north american releases were fucked up, the rest of the world (not just europe) got the RCA and POLYDOR albums ( music wise and covers ) how sweet and co intended them to be. A classic example how bad the north american stuff was is the db album a mish mash of sweet fanny adams, db and a couple of singles which made it a compilation really.
@@mickwarnie8707 I've got ANY Sweet album (released in North America, Europe, Japan etc.). Desolation Boulevard released in North America was on Capitol Records. I've never seen the RCA releases on Capitol Records in North America (I've got all of them).
@@thomasgood3472 What you are saying does not make total sense if you read it, but from what i think you mean i will answer. DB was rca everywhere else except north america and before DB north america just did not get the other albums. You would have imports. That is if you have "funny how sweet co-co can be and "sweet fanny adams"
@@mickwarnie8707 I disagree. Sweet records (on Polydor and RCA labels) had been imported in North America. There were reproductions of Give us a wink (on Capitol) etc. etc. about 15 years after its European releases. The only official Capitol Sweet record in North America was 'Desolation Boulevard' being different to the European Desolation Boulevard release (songs from the album SFA and a couple of singles). Ballroom Blitz had never been released on an album. That's fact, geezer. I've got the entire Sweet archive on this planet.

Great video.
All Polydor albums are great.

@@JCStorm76 I do you agree with you.
@@pjackson8027 Yep even Level Headed is better than he said

@@Mick_Ts_Chick They’re both great. Ignore the critics

I will check it out Mick. Glad you enjoyed the review.
I think Show me the way is a continuation of Laura Lee from Off The Record.
Brian Connolly: 👍👍👍
I enjoy all the Sweet albums
Polydor albums (European) were released on Capital label in North America though.
I've done it again! Fact check. Cheers Thomas for watching the vid.

It's strange that "Sweet" in 1978 changed labels from RCA to Polydor at the same time that "Slade" changed from Polydor to RCA!
Other guys in that second tier….Halford, Mercury and the underrated James Dewar from Trower
