    The best word to describe music in the 70s is "eclectic". The 70s was definitely the most diverse decade. You could hear so many different styles of music all on the same radio station.

    Amber is so right, there is NO music today, soul less and without any originality or creation or indeed talent. We were born and lived in the best years of music which will never return, but the good news is between early 60's to late 90's there is an infinite amount to listen to.

      Sorry but I still think the 60's was the best time for music and informed others groups to follow on what could be accomplished with the equipment of the time! And this comes from a child born in the later 60's therefore my formative musical period was the late 70's 2Tone Ska, 80's Futuristic movement with groups like 'The Human League', 'Duran Duran' and 'Ultravox' really going into the 90's for Brit Pop and the likes of 'Oasis', 'Blur' and the 'Inspiral Carpets'! Yet I still love rock too from groups like 'The Manic Street Preachers', 'The Red Hot Chilli Peppers' and 'Guns'n'Roses'!

      I don’t know. Rock and roll spread almost instantly and was cross pollinating within a decade. It’s very hard to say something sounds “American” because those American bands were influenced by the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Bowie etc.

    • @Dreyno
      @Dreyno 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@bradparnell614 Most people don’t have an accent when singing. The process completely distorts any accent. Vowels are stretched, consonants are often substituted with different ones easier to sing. “R”s are dropped or stressed or rolled depending on what fits. You can’t tell if someone has a Californian accent or a Ohio accent when they’re singing despite them being very different and in most cases, you can’t tell if someone is from Hampshire or New Hampshire either. Neil Young and Bryan Adams don’t sound Canadian either.
      The few people who have a distinct accent when singing are notable because of it. The Procalimers, Delores O’Riordan, Johnny Rotten, David Johansen etc. Most singers accused of sounding American sound American because most Americans don’t really sound American when they’re singing.
      As for the lyrics, unless someone is singing about Cadillacs etc. most lyrics are universal too. There’s nothing in this song, for example, that is peculiarly American.

    It's amazing how groups from the 60's and early to mid 70's showed all groups that followed how to create their own sound and none more influential than 'The Beatles', however you can go way back to the 1920's and 1930's period and the likes of Leadbelly who's own music inspired Kurt Cobain to get into music! Paul McCartney grew up playing the piano to old Gracie Fields music and the likes when the family would have a sing song around the piano with his parents teaching him to play it! All music grows and deviates yet the 50's and 60's, going into the early 70's was really the best time for real pure music, not changed by wizardry in the studios! ❤️❤️‍🔥 How about 'Fox On The Run' as your next Sweet song??? Great show as always both!

    The difference between most music now and then is in the 70's and 80's stereo was quite new and the played a lot with it and produced some great effects. They don't do that much any more. Sweet are a great band!

    This song came out just after I got through Marine Corps boot camp, and it was part of my soundtrack for the next four years. "Baker Street" was another one of those songs, which Amber and Jay did a nice reaction to.

    Each member could also sing lead, which they did on various album songs. Very very talented and massively underrated. Also influenced many other bands, who unashamedly admit their respect.

    Sweet are an under appreciated Rock n roll influential band. The pioneers of the Glam Rock movement. They should be in the RRHF. So many artists mention Sweet among their personal influences.

    One of the most under rated bands of the 70,s so many hits and incredible riffs so well written and played. This song has the easiest vocals to sing even if you can sing or not. I miss the 70,s my school days were full of awesome songs and talent on the radio.

    This song has soooooo many memories attached to it! I was just out of boarding school in a small town called Ajmer (literally in the middle of nowhere) in India when I first heard this song on short wave radio at the beginning of 1978. I fell in love with it right away and have it on my playlist even now!

    @patcow9999 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love this reaction guys! Sweet were a proper rock band that charted consistently across the 70s with catchy singles, mainly in UK and Europe. All members could sing, as you rightly alluded to with their harmonies on this one, usually Brian Conolly as lead (super voice), but my favourite Sweet song is with bassist Steve Priest as lead singer: Restless on the Sweet FA album. I was never really into rock music until I flipped their singles and played the B sides. Probably the best juxtaposition of cheesy pop A side v Deep Purple 'esque B side, is Coco and Done Me Wrong Alright.

    I really enjoy your channel! Thank you! Your honest reactions are very refreshing and interesting to hear. I love your wide range of musical tastes, as well! My musical interest range of tastes is quite cross-genre as well. I don't simply like all music, but can happily listen to selected classical music, classic R&B, Big Band (1940's), KISS and The Cure. I'm almost 61, so Sweet is definitely in my "house". Def Leppard (also a big fan) were heavily influenced by artists like Sweet and Marc Bolan (T.Rex), considered 70's "Glam Rock". As for Sweet (also referred to as The Sweet), I'd suggest "Fox On the Run" and "Action".
    My favorite music era is actually the 80's, but as I said, I like many genres and periods. I listen to 80's music nearly daily for some music "medicine".

    You should have reacted to the 6-minute 45-second longer album version of Sweet's "Love Is Like Oxygen." There is an instrumental section in the middle that is eerily beautiful and creative, and there's a fun outro too. Check it out on your own when you get a chance.
