They were The Sweet until they were re-named Sweet after their first album. Their original name was The Sweetshop so it was a process of elimination.

I've heard this song before, but before 3 minutes ago couldn't tell you anything beyond that. **heart** By far the best new to me so far.

It was 60/40 picking Ballroom Blitz over their other hit.

Listen to their greatest hits in 29 more days - they’ve got several great songs. Just a lot of fun. Good driving music.

Pretty sure I know which song you mean but from looking at their discography it appears they have about 4-5 US top-10 hits

Eephus's Great Great Great Love Child
This round was tough to pick out "favorites" as they were all good. I'll try to pick a few that stood out:
Known:
New Binky the Doormat: More Than This - Roxy Music - so good
worrierking: Biology - Joe Jackson - love it
jwb: Cindy Incidentally – Faces - always forget about this gem
Sullie: Just Like Heaven - The Cure - top 3 Cure for me
The Dreaded Marco: I Wanna Be Adored - The Stone Roses - more heroin please
simsarge: No Matter What – Badfinger - not bad for a Beatles cover band
Mt. Man: I Will Follow - U2 - wrestled with this and two others for my U2 song
Eephus: Missing - Everything But The Girl - forgot about this song, it's lovely
rockaction: Paper Planes - M.I.A. - my daughters wore this out so I couldn't help liking it, they freaked when I played the Clash rip
Ilov80s: Love is a Stranger – Eurythmics - just glad to see them get some love, I'm sure they'll be more
krista4: No One Is To Blame – Howard Jones - was in and out of my top 31 and then last 5 not to make either
Shout out to Phil Collins
Not Know:
DrIanMalcolm: Got A Right To Be Wrong - Joss Stone - 2nd listen got me
shuke: Repent Walpurgis - Procol Harum - liked it very much, saw "Warpigs" at first and then heard it and was
Westerberg: Starry Eyes - The Records - who are these guys?
Mrs. Eephus: The Lebanon - The Human League - only familiar with a few songs from them, hope this opens up more
Ok, carry on chaps.

Wonder if we'll see a band member selected for his solo work.

I only know three Sweet songs off the top of my head, and song #3 is a distant third.

This. I won't spotlight, but there's an Obvious other song for them.

Did they eventually become "Sw"?

And thanks for all the Hollies love today - I was humming this song the other day, and Mrs. R wanted to know what it was and I was "Umm... CCR? Gimme a minute..."

The Desolation Boulevard LP is nothing but bangers. Their songwriter/producer team of Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn recorded dozens of hits for other artists in the 70s and 80s.

I'm not much of a Eurythmics fan but enjoyed this one today, too.

They reversed the trend started getting longer names after the band broke up.

I just want to say that Sweet song #2 outdid ELO at ELO'ing by a magnitude.

@KarmaPolice - I promise no curve balls from me tomorrow. But only because much to @Andy Dufresne 's chagrin our Song Nazi laid the no-song-for-you hammer on Fatboy Slim.

I thought somebody would like the Hard Rain song. Can't win them all I guess. Too sappy for this tough person crowd.

Can I drop hints about my favorite 8-minute track?

It's OK as it's a delicate balance. That gave me a good chance to post again in case people weren't too clear. Basically talking about your own future picks - not so good. Talking about other people's picks without giving away your own - good.

Well, I was starting to have hopes with my 7yo and her music. THEN we get to tonight and I was listening to some 2pters tonight, and we had these two events:
#1:
Her: Oh, I really like this song - can we add it to my playlist?? (she's obviously heard it before because she is humming and singing along)
Me (outloud): Of course!
Me (in my head): Yes, I would LOVE to add this @$#$#$(*& Elton John song to the GD playlist I have to listen to every day.
#2:
Her: wow, did that song get weird.
Me: You want to add that on your playlist?
Her: NO! it was weird. It sounded like a robot made that song
I will give you one guess as to what song that was.

I did watch the documentary on Woodstock '99 where he was at the epicenter. Some crazy #### there.

No. Only hints about 20+ minute tracks are allowed and Pip's already called dibs on all of them.

I don't think we can top last night's shenanigans. I also don't want to guess - I listened to 30-40 minutes of George Michael last night after I said that.Whoops! I didn't remember my order right. Better get ready for that 12-to-6, KP

Missed that one on shuffle. It has a nice jangly guitar solo. It's interesting that the band were Rock 'n Roll lifers in their 50s with an updated U2-ish sound.

For tonight's saxy time, here's a one hour loop of the Careless Whisper sax intro. My hair started to curl like Kenny G's after 15 minutes
Careless Whisper Saxophone - 1 HOUR NONSTOP
Nothing but the good part, sexy sax from Wham! Careless Whisper looped seamlessly for 60 minutes straight.
