Lol. I've never heard this song but it's nice. Of course "Ballroom Blitz" is well known by Americans.

They also had, in Mick Tucker, one of the best drummers pop music has ever seen, really good technically, would have made a great jazz drummer. Sweet live were a much heavier experience than their glam chart stuff would have you believe, they were rather forced into the glam stuff by the song writing partnership of Chinn/Chapman who also wrote for Suzi Quattro and many others, who got them to sign their career away to them unfortunately. Thy could have been a mini Led Zeppelin had things gone in another way. |

Teenage Rampage was the first single I ever bought, in 1974, and it still sounds great -

I know drummer Bun E. Carlos (Cheap Trick), who played on stage with Mick Tucker, spoke very highly of him. And Carlos is a great drummer.
